Description

I have a babel-preset-react-native depedency in my package.json. I am using v0.56 of react native.

Issue

If I use v5.0.0 of babel-preset-react-native the jest cases do not run and throw an error as follows :-

Cannot read property 'throwIfClosureRequired' of undefined (Wh
ile processing preset: "/Users/harkirat/wealthy/thrift/node_modules/babel-pre
set-react-native/index.js")

If I use v4.0.0 of babel-preset-react-native the react native application does not start as seen in #20042

Can someone please help me resolving this?
