Expo web: "export 'requireNativeComponent' was not found in 'react-native-web/dist/index'

[koaladlt]

Describe the bug Every time that I run the app on the web with expo, this error comes in.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior if possible, or a link to a reproduction repo:

1. Build your expo app on the web

Expected behavior I need the app to compile, I'm not sure if React-Native-Fast-Image is available for React Native Web. That would not be a problem at first, but this error would not let the app compile.

Screenshots

Dependency versions

• React Native version: 0.64.3
• React version: 17.0.1
• React Native Fast Image version: 8.5.11
• Expo version: 44.0.0

From what it looks like, it is not available for React Native Web. Maybe some sort of transpiling would work? Alternatively, you could put a wrapper around it that exports <Image /> for RNW and <FastImage /> for RN iOS and Android. I've had to do that for a few packages that weren't supported on either platform.

I do wish there was some sort of automatic option here though - I have a RNW build and was interested in possibly using FastImage for caching.

@haveamission Thanks for your answer, your approach looks interesting.

I will try that and let you know here if that worked!

@jesse-savary How do I use this patch? I'm new to React Native and haven't needed to learn this yet.
