RNDeviceInfo is null issue on react-native 0.60.4

Bug

RNDeviceInfo is null issue on react-native 0.60.4. Importing it fails with version 2.3.2.

    react-native-cli: 2.0.1
    react-native-git-upgrade: 0.2.7

Library version: x.x.x

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a new app react-native init MyTestApp
2. In App.js, import DeviceInfo:

import DeviceInfo from 'react-native-device-info';

1. npm install it:

npm install react-native-device-info --save

1. Run with react-native run-ios

Describe what you expected to happen:

1. I would expect the app to start normally.
2. To be coherent, I would have expected react-native-device-info to be installed in ./node_modules/@react-native-community/react-native-device-info. Rather it’s installed in ./node_modules/react-native-device-info

Reproducible sample code

The app created by init is sufficient after importing DeviceInfo in App.js.

@patrice4github https://github.com/patrice4github Cocoapods is now the default for RN60, everything RN60 requires a pod install, so it’s just assumed now - any time you do anything with RN60 that touches native code, you’ll have to pod install after. At the same time, even though it should be assumed if you want to propose a PR to the README that makes it clear, it might save future people time and I’d be willing to merge

@mikehardy You’re right. I’ve missed out some part during the RN 0.60 upgrading process. Thanks for pointing that out.
