App builds successfully, but runs into this error at startup.
Could be related to my "babel-preset-react-native": "5.0.0" ?? I'm not too sure

It's a react-native app created through ignite. I've only added Pod install for Firebase/core, database.
I was getting "react native failed to load bundle dex.bundle cannot read property 'bindings' of null" and I changed babel-preset-rn to 5.00 (from ^3.x.x)
