For React Native 0.60 and higher

Open android/app/build.gradle file and add following lines to first of dependencies section

dependencies: { 

...

compile 'com.facebook.fresco:fresco:1.+'

// For animated GIF support
compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-gif:1.+'

// For WebP support, including animated WebP
compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-webp:1.+'
compile 'com.facebook.fresco:webpsupport:1.+' 
}
