title: linearGradientProps crashes my app
body: <p>What can I do about it? I can't use the code that should work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Button
                          text="SIGNUP"
                          ViewComponent={require('react-native-linear-gradient').LinearGradient}
                          linearGradientProps={{
                              colors: ['red', 'pink', 'red'],
                          }}
                      /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get this annoyance:</p>
  
  <pre><code>console.error: "You need to pass a ViewComponent to use linearGradientProps !
