Summary:
Pull Request resolved: facebook#46606

This fixes this issue reported here:
react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals#816 (reply in thread)

reported by both SWM and Expo.

to understand if the version of ReactNative has merged so libraries or not.
This fixes it, I've tested against
