Nice idea. couldn't test on iOS.

Hi @alwx

First of all, thanks for having this code as opensource, looks like a nice implementation :)
I was just trying to test your module for a idea i have, and got some errors while linking for iOS.

➜  rn_vr git:(master) ✗ react-native link react-native-http-bridge

Scanning 751 folders for symlinks in /Users/fforrres/Github/fforres/rn_vr/node_modules (5ms)

rnpm-install info Linking react-native-http-bridge android dependency
rnpm-install info Android module react-native-http-bridge has been successfully linked
rnpm-install info Linking react-native-http-bridge ios dependency
rnpm-install ERR! Something went wrong while linking. Error: Cannot read property 'children' of null
Please file an issue here: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues

Sadly, the react-native link errors are not really much descriptive 😞

Anyways, just letting you know in case it's easy to solve. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong and i Havent figured it out yet.

If it helps, I'm currently running

react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.44.0

If I can help, let me know :)

All the best

@tadasstra can you please explain how did you manually link it? I used official guide but when I try to run the app in simulator I have long list of errors and build failed:

Hi guys, feel free to checkout: react-native-http-bridge-refurbished

It should work on ios.
