Answer 1

"Currently React doesn't support reusing a native view in different parts of the component hierarchy, which makes it difficult to implement shared element transitions in pure JS."

Checkout the below link: https://github.com/brentvatne/hard-react-native-problems/issues/11

Additionally, It(Shared Element) may be roll-out in next version as part of Navigator. Check out the following thread: https://twitter.com/intelligibabble/status/764162422831652865

Edit: airbnb launched native navigation with shared element transition to try. It not official yet. but can try out.. http://airbnb.io/native-navigation/docs/guides/shared-element-transitions.html

Update: It is worth to checkout https://wix.github.io/react-native-navigation for shared element implementation.
