New Architecture issue: Trying to call native module before CatalystInstance has been set

[robin-pham]

Just wanted to point out that the APIs that are used in this library are deprecated with the new arch and results in errors. Raised it up in the corresponding new architecture discussion thread: https://github.com/reactwg/react-native-new-architecture/discussions/201#discussioncomment-10246327
