[android] .focus() causes "illegal number of arguments for 'updateHotspot' command." error.

On Android when i try to apply focus to a TouchableOpacity element i greeted with an error illegal number of arguments for 'updateHotspot' command.

export class Test extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
        <>
            <TouchableOpacity ref={(ref) => (this._ref = ref)} onFocus={() => console.log("I HAVE BEEN FOCUSSED")}>
                <Text>Should get focus</Text>
            </TouchableOpacity>


            <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => this._ref.focus()}>
                <Text>Should trigger focus</Text>
            </TouchableOpacity>
        </>
    )
  }
}

please note that in my actuall code i DO check if this._ref exists first before calling focus etc.

Repoduce

1. create a ref from a TouchableOpacity on Android.
2. try to focus to that ref.
3. observe error.

Expected the TouchableOpacity to be focussed and onFocus to be called…
