TouchableOpacity/Highlight doesn't work inside a <View> that has alignItems specified

[bobber205]

I have a spot in my app where I load a image that takes up a big portion of the screen. I have a container view that "reserves" the height to prevent any weird flash while I load the needed data to determine which image to show.

I recently got a request to add a click event to this image. I did what is recommended and wrapped it an TouchableHighlight. Suddenly nothing was being displayed.

Here's a canned example of what I am trying to do.

This is only reproducible in .60.x

Summary: TouchableOpacity/Highlight doesn't work as a single child in View that has alignItems specified.
