Throwing multiple exceptions when opening View on Android

Versions:
Android 7

"react": "16.0.0-beta.5",
"react-native": "0.49.3",
"react-native-textinput-effects": "^0.4.1"

First exception:

Exception in native call
com.facebook.react.bridge.JSApplicationIllegalArgumentException: Error while updating property 'backgroundColor' in shadow node of type: AndroidTextInput

Then:

Error while updating prop backgroundColor
com.facebook.react.bridge.UnexpectedNativeTypeException: TypeError: expected dynamic type `int64', but had type `string'

This finally crashes the app:

FATAL EXCEPTION: main
Process: com.xxx, PID: 30962
com.facebook.react.uimanager.IllegalViewOperationException: Trying to add unknown view tag: 94
detail: View tag:100
children(0): [
],
viewsToAdd(1): [
[0,94],
]

Android expects colors as int yet somewhow it is passed as a string it seems.

Looks like there is an issue with Animations in Android:
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/13984

Reproduce the crash on Android 7 with the listed React and React Native versions, focusing on the animated backgroundColor update for AndroidTextInput. Read the linked React Native animation issue and trace the View-opening path; done means the app opens the View without the native type, unknown-view, or fatal exceptions.
