Expected behaviour

Components have the same behavior in dev and release builds

Actual behaviour

Release builds are exhibiting various feature breaking issues that aren't present in debug builds. The following errors have been observed and reproduced when using native-base components.

The element does not honor secureTextEntry or onChangeText props
The element does not honor the floatingLabel prop
Steps to reproduce
Clone repository at https://github.com/ajmath/ReleaseRenderIssue
yarn install
yarn react-native run-android to test the dev build
yarn react-native run-android --variant=release to test the release build

Screenshots are available in the readme at https://github.com/ajmath/ReleaseRenderIssue

Is the bug present in both iOS and Android or in any one of them?

Both iOS and Android
