React-native-navigation: Error when using Images.xcassets for backgroundImage and rootBackgroundImage

[L-Yeiser]

Issue Description

V1 allowed use of image names in Images.xcassets for backgroundImage and rootBackgroundImage. After V2 upgrade I see the following error.

Steps to Reproduce / Code Snippets / Screenshots

V1 configuration:

static navigatorStyle = {
  screenBackgroundImageName: 'authBackground',
}

V2

 static get options() {
    return {
      backgroundImage:  'authBackground,
    };
  }

using require works

  static get options() {
    return {
      backgroundImage: require('../../assets/images/auth-background.png'),
    };
  }

Environment

"react-native-navigation": "^2.0.2556",
"react-native": "^0.56.0",

• Platform(s): iOs

This is still an issue. It would be swell to be able to use native assets for the backgroundImage and rootBackgroundImage.

Experiencing this issue as well. According to the docs this is still supported.

Hello! Can I try to tackle this issue for the Hacktoberfest2020? If so, can you assign it to me?

@alexnaiman I've assigned you, but I don't think you have to be assigned to the issue for hacktoberfest, no?

This is working for me, though I'm using the functional component style of assigning default options.
