Expected Behavior

I don't want upgrade RN to other version，because it will occur lots of error，that's too bad！

(Write what you thought would happen.)

I do catch error，but can't catch the error

componentWillUnmount() {
		try {
			navigator.geolocation.clearWatch(this.watchID);
			debugger;
		} catch (error) {
			console.log(error)
		}
		// debugger;
	}

Hey! 0.25.1 is quite old at this point. Please try a newer version and submit a new issue if needed.
