After reading this comment on the react-native GitHub issues, the following worked for me:

Add the following npm module:

npm install babel-preset-react-native-stage-0 --save

Add the following configuration to your .babelrc file:

{ presets: ['react-native-stage-0'] }

Clear your cache:

$ watchman watch-del-all
$ ./node_modules/react-native/packager/packager.sh --reset-cache
