React-redux: _react.default.memo is not a function

[JuAlexandre]

I initiated a new project React Native Expo with expo init MyProject.

My dependencies:
"dependencies": { "@expo/vector-icons": "latest", "emoji-utils": "latest", "expo": "^32.0.0", "moment": "^2.24.0", "react": "16.5.0", "react-native": "https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-32.0.0.tar.gz", "react-native-gifted-chat": "^0.7.3", "react-native-keyboard-spacer": "^0.4.1", "react-native-nav": "^2.0.2", "react-navigation": "^3.7.1", "react-redux": "^7.0.2", "redux": "^4.0.1", "redux-thunk": "^2.3.0" }, "devDependencies": { "babel-preset-expo": "^5.0.0" },
When I make export default connect(mapStateToProps)(Chat) on my component I've the error _react.default.memo is not a function.
On the other hand, if I pass the version of react-redux to 6.0.0 I do not have this error anymore...

Ah... that said, React-Redux v7 requires a minimum React version of 16.8.4. Please upgrade your React Native and React versions accordingly.

@JuAlexandre I had the same issue.

Didn't realize that React Native v0.59.8 depends on React 16.5.0.

It seems that from react-redux v7 React version 16.8.4 or higher is needed, because it internally uses React.memo().
