For react native version>=0.60 :

When building your own native code, GIF and WebP are not supported by default on Android.

You will need to add some optional modules in android/app/build.gradle, depending on the needs of your app.

implementation 'com.facebook.fresco:fresco:2.0.0'
implementation 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-gif:2.0.0'

For latest react native version 0.66 :

implementation 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-gif:2.6.0'

please follow the details in the FB docs it will specify the required things that you need.

You will need to add some optional modules in android/app/build.gradle, depending on the needs of your app.

dependencies {
  // If your app supports Android versions before Ice Cream Sandwich (API level 14)
  compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-base-support:1.3.0'

  // For animated GIF support
  compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-gif:1.3.0'

  // For WebP support, including animated WebP
  compile 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-webp:1.3.0'
  compile 'com.facebook.fresco:webpsupport:1.3.0'

  // For WebP support, without animations
  compile 'com.facebook.fresco:webpsupport:1.3.0'
}

Also, if you use GIF with ProGuard, you will need to add this rule in proguard-rules.pro :

-keep class com.facebook.imagepipeline.animated.factory.AnimatedFactoryImpl {
  public AnimatedFactoryImpl(com.facebook.imagepipeline.bitmaps.PlatformBitmapFactory, com.facebook.imagepipeline.core.ExecutorSupplier);
}

For React Native version : 0.66.4

Add these below lines in android/app/build.gradle file,

  implementation 'com.facebook.fresco:fresco:2.0.0'
    // For animated GIF support

 implementation 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-gif:2.6.0'
    // For WebP support, including animated WebP

 implementation 'com.facebook.fresco:animated-webp:2.0.0'

 implementation 'com.facebook.fresco:webpsupport:2.0.0'

And Use it like:

<Image
   source={require('../assets/splah.gif')}
   style={{ width: '100%',height:'100%' }}
/>

This works for me. "react": "18.0.0", "react-native": "0.69.0", — samthui7, Jul 06 '22 at 02:37
