RCTNetworking in RN v0.18.1 and Element Type is invalid in RN v0.19

See original GitHub issue

When using RN v0.18.1

The component works well for iOS. However it failed in Android with the message “RCTNetworking.sendRequest got 6 arguments, expected 7” upon loading of app.

After reading up online, I decided to upgrade to RN v0.19.

After upgrade to RN v0.19

BOTH iOS & Android fails on the screen using the component with the message: “Element type is invalid: expected a string (for built-in components) or a class/function (for composite components) but got: object. Check the render method of”

Doing the following resolves the iOS screen and loads the video:

var Video = require('react-native-video').default;

Error is gone on Android but video is not loading.
