[ANDROID] Heading is undefined after RN upgrade

[joegoodall1]

After upgrading from RN0.39->0.44, heading was coming back as undefined on Android.

This appeared to be because instead of using data.heading (as it says in the README.md) it was just data.

So in case anybody else has the same problem the fix was using this
heading = Platform.OS === 'ios' ? data.heading : data instead of heading = data.heading

+1 Having this issue with iOS also. Creating a project with 0.45 and importing this leads to an
undefined is not an object (evaluating 'RNSimpleCompass.start') from the source code provided.

@FarhanKhalid did you solve this issue?

Looking forward to an update here, been a while since this was reported, anyone made any progress on tracking this down?

[FarhanKhalid]

@juergengunz No unfortunately I tried but wasn't really able to find a solution. I ended up using an older version of RN for this. The latest one that is working for me is 0.41. Since all my other libraries are compatible I am just going to continue using this version for now.

I have updated the react-native version and fixed this issue of different behaviours on android and iOS. Check my fork https://github.com/zsajjad/react-native-heading
