I'm using an Image as a wrapper so I can place another image and text over it.

I changed it to WebView and I was testing on iOS with no problem but in Android I get the error:
android.widget.imageview cannot be cast to android.view.viewgroup

Thank you! Yes, I will try to fix it before next version. This or next week.

Just a note that I also ran into this same issue when trying to nest a <View> inside of a <WebImage> component. I have the following dependencies:

"react": "~15.4.0",
"react-native": "0.41.2",
"react-native-web-image": "^0.0.4",

Yes, still not fixed. But workaround should be simple.

Original Image component from RN also has this issue, they wrap it in View. For reference:

Still on my TODO... currently I have very slow progress with this module, but hope to make new version before mid august.

But I still wonder, why not simple embed this component in View (RN itself doing the same, see my previous comment)?
