Fresco: Doesn't work with RN 0.51.0 in Android

[lin-zy1229]

Description

It crashes when I use these in gradle file just for displaying GIF.

compile 'com.facebook.fresco:fresco:1.8.1'
compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-gif:1.+'

This is what the debug printed.

• Fresco version: [latest, 1.8.1]
• Platform version: [RN 0.51.0, Android SDK API 24]

Well, it had worked when I used lower version of RN (not sure well, but seems 0.46.x)

[dmitryou]

For me works following configuration :
react native in package.json
"react-native": "0.53.0",

dependencies in android/app/build/build.gradle

android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "*****"
    minSdkVersion 16
    targetSdkVersion 22
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    ndk {
        abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "x86"
    }
}

dependencies {
compile project(':react-native-vector-icons')
compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1"
compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:+" // From node_modules
compile 'com.facebook.fresco:fresco:1.3.0'
compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-gif:1.3.0'
}

Yes, I just got it, too.
This was the solution.

compile 'com.facebook.fresco:fresco:1.3.0'
compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-gif:1.3.0'

Just wonder why it doesn't work for higher version.

Hi @lin-zy1229, thank you very much for the detailed information!

I think this is the same issue as https://github.com/facebook/fresco/issues/2054 (which is older). Close this one here so we have the other issue to as a single place where we communicate. I'll link to this issue from there as well.

This doesn't mean that this issue is wrong, it's just for focusing communication :) Let me know if you think that these are separate problem and I'll promptly re-open.

@lin-zy1229 works fine
