You need to apply to the Text element a fontSize, for example, this will fit each text to its width:

export default class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={{flex: 1}}>
        <Text 
          style={{flex:1,width:200,fontSize:200}}
          adjustsFontSizeToFit={true}
          numberOfLines={1}
          minimumFontScale={0.01}
  >
          I want this text to be smaller
        </Text>
        <Text 
          style={{flex:1,width:400,fontSize:200}}
          adjustsFontSizeToFit={true}
          numberOfLines={1}
          minimumFontScale={0.01}
  >
          I want this text to be smaller
        </Text>
      </View>
    );
  }
}
