React-native-blur: iOS 10 support

[generalChaos]

The blur effect does not work on the newly released iOS 10.

[Kureev]

Did they change an API?

[generalChaos]

Thanks for the hard work on this module and sorry for the lack of description in the issue report, I am not very familiar with iOS API. I did notice that the blur was gone on clients running iOS 10.

I have found documentation of the changes in the API: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/General/iOS10APIDiffs/

Looking at the Swift UIKit, they seemed to have made some changes to that: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/General/iOS10APIDiffs/Swift/UIKit.html

Thanks

@generalChaos it only breaks on 10.0.1 right? testing it on simulator (iphone6&7 10.0):

[Kureev]

Did you try it on 10.0.1 as well, @merapi ?

P.S. Thanks for the testing!

[merapi]

there is no simulator for 10.0.1 and my device doesn't have that update also

[generalChaos]

@merapi It's not working on the iOS 10 simulator and my phone running iOS 10.1. I am going to check my implementation to make sure the problem is not with that. The way I have it, works with iOS < 10. Thanks.

[generalChaos]

@Kureev Sorry for the false alarm, I had a style which was breaking it for iOS10+. As soon as I test on iOS 10.1, I'll let you know the result. However, I expect that it will still work.

[Kureev]

Awesome! I'm glad to hear you solved your issue and it's not related to this component. Let me know if something will pop up!

[generalChaos]

@Kureev, @merapi - I have tested it on 10.1 and it IS working. Sorry again for the false alarm. Cheers, Rico
