Summary:
## Issue
You will run into an exception like:
Animated node with tag (child) [8] does not exist
when attempting to convert an Animated node (or starting a native animation) to native when there are multiple non-style props that have AnimatedValues (this should be a very rare case, unless you have a custom native component, as most animated props are in style).
## Root cause
Due to how __makeNative is recursively called up and down the node graph, in a specific case where multiple AnimatedValues have an AnimatedProps as their child, the "connect" operation will occur before the "create" operation for the AnimatedProps node. For example:
- When a native animation is fired via Animated.timing().start(), __makeNative is called on the AnimatedValue (call this node AnimatedValueA) that is being animated. This results in the following sequence of events:
- AnimatedValueA iterates through its children (in this case, AnimatedProps) and calls child.__makeNative
- AnimatedProps iterates through all props with AnimatedValue values and calls __makeNative on them (call these nodes AnimatedValueB and AnimatedValueC).
- AnimatedValueA.__makeNative is called again, but this time, the call early exits and does not do anything.
- AnimatedValueB.__makeNative is called. This in turn calls AnimatedProps.__makeNative, which early exits (ROOT CAUSE OF BUG).
- connectAnimatedNodes is queued (undesired)
## Fix
Short of completely refactoring of how we handle converting the DAG to native (which we should do at some point - the current implementation is error prone and suboptimal. Tracking in T146991336), for now we can make AnimatedProps.__makeNative behavior consistent with AnimatedTransform and AnimatedStyle by just avoiding the early exit, so that the connectAnimatedNodes calls all occur after all native nodes have been created

React Native brings React's declarative UI framework to iOS and Android. With React Native, you use native UI controls and have full access to the native platform.
- Declarative. React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Declarative views make your code more predictable and easier to debug.
- Component-Based. Build encapsulated components that manage their state, then compose them to make complex UIs.
- Developer Velocity. See local changes in seconds. Changes to JavaScript code can be live reloaded without rebuilding the native app.
- Portability. Reuse code across iOS, Android, and other platforms.
React Native is developed and supported by many companies and individual core contributors. Find out more in our ecosystem overview.

📋 Requirements
React Native apps may target iOS 12.4 and Android 5.0 (API 21) or newer. You may use Windows, macOS, or Linux as your development operating system, though building and running iOS apps is limited to macOS. Tools like Expo can be used to work around this.
🎉 Building your first React Native app
Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:
📖 Documentation
The full documentation for React Native can be found on our website.
The React Native documentation discusses components, APIs, and topics that are specific to React Native. For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.
The source for the React Native documentation and website is hosted on a separate repo, @facebook/react-native-website.
🚀 Upgrading
Upgrading to new versions of React Native may give you access to more APIs, views, developer tools, and other goodies. See the Upgrading Guide for instructions.
React Native releases are discussed in this discussion repo.
