Unable to clone and run the app

[witbybit]

I tried to run the app after cloning the repository but I got the following error:-
"console.error: fontFamily 'Menlo' is not a system font and has not been loaded through Exponent.Font.loadAsync."

could you send a PR, removing this fontFamily

victory-native-demo-crna/App.js

Line 38 in 2251e1f

fontFamily: "Menlo",

?

Thanks for the reply. I can definitely do that but there is another issue that occurs after removing that line - "Error while updating property 'd' in shadow node of type: RNSVGPath"

I took a look at the native-component-list app as mentioned by @dikaiosune in expo/create-react-native-app#121
I was able to make that app work on local android emulator but I noticed that there are some strange versions used in package.json (https://github.com/expo/native-component-list/blob/master/package.json):-

"dependencies": {
    "@expo/ex-navigation": "2.9.3",
    "@expo/samples": "^1.0.3",
    "expo": "15.0.2",
    "gl-mat4": "^1.1.4",
    "hsv2rgb": "^1.1.0",
    "react": "~15.4.2",
    "react-native": "https://github.com/exponent/react-native/archive/sdk-15.tar.gz",
    "regl": "^1.3.0",
    "victory-native": "0.6.0"
  }

Why is react-native version a url? What version number should we actually use here?
Also victory-native version seems pretty old since the current version appears to be 0.7.2.

@nikhilag feel free send a PR fixing this

@sibelius I really want to fix this but I am trying to figure out how. As of now, no matter what version i use in package.json, victory-native doesn't work with crna. I keep getting the error that I posted above. I haven't tried the package.json used in native-component-list yet but it doesn't seem the correct approach. Why are they using a custom url for react-native and why are they using an old version of victory-native?

[sibelius]

I think they are using an old version of react-native-svg, so this is probably breaking the new version of victory-native

@nikhilag the Expo client usually has a ~1 week delay from a stable React Native release, I expect RN 0.43 support will be released early next week. By default Expo projects use a fork of RN so that we can ship important bugfixes early if need be, but both "vanilla" RN from npm and the Expo fork tarball should work just fine.

I suspect the old version of victory-native is because that's the version that's compatible with the react-native-svg we ship in the client app, but I could be wrong. Maybe @brentvatne can fill in with details there?

[witbybit]

Is support for 0.43 coming soon?
@brentvatne Please comment on what versions are needed for victory-native to work with create-react-native-app.
Thanks.
