[RCTConvert.m:55] JSON value 'black' of type NSString cannot be converted to NSNumber

Please provide more info... It's hard to tell what's going on here.

I'm running into this as well, iOS app on v0.12.0. Using black for a color in a StyleSheet.

Ah, look like we need to use processColor('black') to get this to work.

Im facing this problem when using the offline bundle only; when i react-native bundle the js code and try to run it on the device i get these errors:

I tried using the procesColor in the stylesheet styles but this gives errors when running the js from the localhost. Or maybe im using them the wrong way ?

Nevermind. There was a confusion of where to get the main.jsbundle file; its created in /ios/ folder while its used in xcode in ios/project/.

[dsibiski]

I found the solution to my problem as well, the error was coming from an outdated 3rd party lib.

If you're setting any colors using setNativeProps, you'll now need to pass them through processColor.

Is there any hope of improving the debugging situation error for these? I'm getting a totally cryptic stacktrace and am now poking around for instances of "black" anywhere in my code or libraries.

I was getting this as well but noticed this error in xcode log:

[tid:com.facebook.React.RNVectorIconsManagerQueue][RCTConvert.m:55] JSON value 'black' of type NSString cannot be converted to NSNumber

Upgrading "react-native-vector-icons" to the latest 0.8.4 fixed it for me.

I received this after upgrading react-native to 0.13.2.
