AnimatedText = props => {
  const { style, ...otherProps } = props;
  const { textStyles, otherStyles } = splitTextStyles(style);
  return (
    <Animated.View style={otherStyles}>
      <Text style={textStyles} {...otherProps} />
    </Animated.View>
  );
}
Custom AnimatedText that works around an issue with RN on iOS
when animating the opacity of a Text component.
Seems like the same issue as reported here:
