@hramos Hey) I have only few - facebook sdk, react-native-linear-gradient. Maybe i should have mentioned that linking was working with previous version of RN before i ran react-native-git-upgrade.

I have the exact same error with 0.55.4 and to answer your question @hramos : For me it happens with every react-native link I call after the upgrade.
