Maybe a bug in React Native? Related: facebook/react-native#21754

Same, this happens when I use the Button, as it says in the documentation.
< Button >Ok</ Button >

<TouchableOpacity onPress={()=>this.props.navigation.navigate('Signup')}>

same here in 0.57.3

It's a bug in React Native 0.57.3. You need to downgrade to 0.57.1 or lower. I'm closing this issue since we can't fix it in paper.
