[React-native] Cannot read property 'getDebugName' of undefined

See original GitHub issue

I have an app that works fine if I do not use/ reference mobx-remotedev. I can even use “react-native Debugger” to connect in debug mode and have access to the console.

However, when I add mobx-remotedev to a store, I get the error Cannot read property 'getDebugName' of undefined

// @flow
import remotedev from 'mobx-remotedev'    // <-- new
import { observable, action } from 'mobx'
import Orientation from 'react-native-orientation'
import { Keyboard, NetInfo, AppState, BackHandler } from 'react-native'

@remotedev({        // <-- new decorator
  name: 'AppStateStore',
  remote: true,
  global: true,
})
export default class AppStateStore {
  @observable keyboard: any
  @observable isConnected: boolean = true
  ...
}

error:

Cannot read property 'getDebugName' of undefined
