StyleSheet.flatten flow issues

[Esemesek]

🐛 Bug Report

StyleSheet.flatten return types which are incompatible with NativeComponents.
I am using flow-bin@0.86.0, which is the same as react-native@0.58.4

Cannot create View element because inexact ____DangerouslyImpreciseStyle_Internal [1] is incompatible with exact
$ReadOnly [2] in property style.

      26│         <Text style={styles.instructions}>To get started, edit App.js</Text>
      27│         <Text style={styles.instructions}>{instructions}</Text>
      28│       </View>
      29│     );

3. Install flow-bin@0.86.0
4. Run compilation yarn flow

Expected Behavior

Flow compilation should be successful.

@Esemesek could you send a pull request to fix this?

[satya164]

This seems to be correct behaviour. Closing.
