Errors - while running the react-native run-android

Hi @mrousavy ,

This is truly amazing work!!

I was trying the instructions to run it for my android device, on a windows machine, got the below error:

Was hoping if you too had any similar issue:

Fixed it by commenting the release block on build.gradle file!!

Fixed it by updating the ndkVersion = "21.3.6528147" on build.gradle!

Was able to fix the issue changing the below code, and bring up the application!

ReadableNativeMap state = stateWrapper.getStateData();
For some versions of react-native-animateable-text, 'getState' doesn't work.
So have to change it accordingly.
