Answer 1

We upgraded to "react-native": "^0.57.1", which stopped our animated gifs from playing; they just rendered the first frame of the animation as static images.

To correct for this, we included the following libraries:

compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-gif:1.10.0'
compile "com.facebook.fresco:animated-base-support:1.3.0"

// (Only if supporting WebP.)
compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-webp:1.10.0'
compile 'com.facebook.fresco:webpsupport:1.10.0'

Answer 2

You can add these dependencies. I am using this in version (v0.44.0):

compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-base-support:0.14.1'
compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-gif:0.14.1' 

In version v0.50 you only need to add

compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-gif:1.3.0'
