I downgrade react-native-gifted-chat version to 0.9.11 and it's works.

Do you have any idea why gifted chat does't work on 0.13.0 ?

Hi @chassierPA,
I'm using it without issues on RN 0.61.4 (i.e. Expo 36)

I had exactly the same issue. I just updated from 0.59.10 to 0.60.6. Super weird. @chassierPA Did you solve it?

[esdotzed]

well... it's actually because I haven't enabled typescript in my project....

This solved it for me. @chassierPA
