compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-gif:1.0.1'
compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-webp:1.0.1'
compile 'com.facebook.fresco:webpsupport:1.0.1'

Closer! I am getting some where. I don't know what document you are referring to be searching on web I found below. This gets the images to display but they aren't animating. Any more pointers? Is there a specific document I should be looking at?

By default the Gif images are not supported in android react native app. You need to set the following code to display the gif images. The code: Open your android/app/build.gradle file add the following code in the place of

open android/app/build.gradle add the following code

dependencies: { 
  ...
     // For animated GIF support
    compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-base-support:1.0.1'  
    // For WebP support, including animated WebP
    compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-gif:1.0.1'  
    compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-webp:1.0.1' 
    compile  'com.facebook.fresco:webpsupport:1.0.1'  

This solves the problem for your debug build but if you want to solve it also in your release build at them moment you have to add the following line to your proguard-rules file:

-keep class com.facebook.imagepipeline.animated.factory.AnimatedFactoryImpl { public AnimatedFactoryImpl(com.facebook.imagepipeline.bitmaps.PlatformBitmapFactory, com.facebook.imagepipeline.core.ExecutorSupplier); }
More information on this here: facebook/fresco#1177

This was fixed with this commit and will be included in the next release.
