Detox not working with react native v0.51

[leonidez]

Description

Can you confirm which versions of react-native are currently supported? Installing detox per the guidelines against react-native v0.51 leads to a runtime error. Per other Detox issues I've cleared Derived Data, erased all contents and settings from the simulator, and I run the packager using watchman watch-del-all && react-native start --reset-cache. My current setup works fine when building the app for development, only issue is running detox test

Steps to Reproduce

• run react-native init using v0.51
• follow the detox instructions per https://github.com/wix/detox/blob/master/docs/Introduction.GettingStarted.md
• run detox test and app builds with error 'undefined is not an object (evaluating nativeVersion.major)'

Detox, Node, Device, Xcode and macOS Versions

• Detox: "^6.0.4"
• Node: 8.1.0
• Device: iPhone 7 (simulator)
• Xcode: 9.2
• macOS: Sierra 10.12.6

I am also using "mocha": "^4.0.1",

Thank you.

Does the app work when running without Detox ? Try running the already installed app on your simulator (the one installed by Detox), does it crash ?
