UPDATE: I just confirmed it was working in Snack as of 0.9.0, but broke after that.
This applies to basically any use of the latest version of Gifted Chat on Snack. I made a very minimal example here: https://snack.expo.io/@llamaluvr/gifted-chat-does-not-work-on-expo-issue and it has the same error.
It appears that the issue could be resolved by using React Native video from Expo, per https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-video/issues/1474. However, I’m not sure how this is done in a way that is compatible with using Gifted Chat in bare RN, Expo, Snack, etc. And this seems like it may be just covering up the real problem. Why wouldn’t Image.resolveAssetSource() be available/
