Link native libraries about expo HOT 4 CLOSED

Answer in the FAQ:
How do I add custom native code to my Exponent project?
http://docs.getexponent.com/versions/v11.0.0/introduction/faq.html

from expo.

We should try to move UI libraries like this away from native dependencies so they can be easily supported with Exponent. Native modules have two use cases right now:

1. Expose an API that is not currently available to JS
2. Do something that you can do in JS but more performantly

UI libraries will only include native code that falls under category 2, so the answer is to improve react-native such that it is not necessary to drop down to native code. This means improving animations to allow them to run on the main thread (coming along nicely!), improving the gesture system, etc.

In this particular case, I believe custom native code is used for the loading spinner effect. Once we add support for Animated.loop and make it possible to run looped animations on the main thread there will be no need for custom native code for this.

Until then, you can fork this library and change the implementation or just use plain React Native without Exponent (sorry :<), or wait until it's possible to partially eject from Exponent (described here).

@brentvatne what about use case 1? This is a deal breaker for me
