TypError: null is not an object (evaluating 'AppCenterReactNativeAnalytics.trackEvent')

When I boot up my application on android and then click on the login button, I get the following error:

2019-08-15 10:50:19.242 10338-12350/com.nfibengage W/ReactNativeJS: Require cycle: src/services/Requester.js -> src/utils/appcenterLogger.js -> src/services/Requester.js

    Require cycles are allowed, but can result in uninitialized values. Consider refactoring to remove the need for a cycle.

    This error is located at:

This only happens in android.

I refactored the two files requiring each other by dropping the logic of src/services/Requester.js into appcenterLogger.js and adjusting relative paths and bringing over the imports as well.

Unfortunately, the error persists. I have been able to identify the following code snippet from RootNavigation.js as a problem:

  _screenTracking = (prevState, currentState) => {
    const currentScreen = this._getCurrentRouteName(currentState);
    const prevScreen = this._getCurrentRouteName(prevState);

    // if (prevScreen !== currentScreen) {
    //   appcenter.trackNavigation(prevScreen, currentScreen);
    // }
  };

  render() {
    if (
      this.props.user &&
      this.props.user.authStatus === AUTH_STATUS.LOGGED_IN
    ) {
      return (
        <DrawerStack
          ref={nav => {
            this.navigator = nav;
          }}
          onNavigationStateChange={this._screenTracking}
        />
      );
    }
    return (
      <AuthStack
        authStatus={this.props.user.authStatus}
        // onNavigationStateChange={this._screenTracking}
        ref={nav => {
          this.navigator = nav;
        }}
      />
    );
  }
}

const mapStateToProps = ({ auth, registrations, navigation }) => {
  const { user } = auth;
  return {
    user,
    resetPasswordDeepLinkKey: registrations.resetPasswordData.resetKey,
    ...navigation
  };
};

export default connect(
  mapStateToProps,
  {
    resetState,
    setSelectedEvent,
    setSelectedSurvey,
    setSelectedArticle,
    setSelectedAlert
  }
)(RootNavigation);

At this point, I am unclear as to why I am having this problem with RootNavigation.js, since everywhere I have inspected the Analytics module is returning an object:

Object
PropertyConfigurator: ƒ _class(transmissionTarget)
TransmissionTarget: ƒ _class2(targetToken)
bindingType: "MSAnalytics"
getTransmissionTarget: ƒ getTransmissionTarget(targetToken)
isEnabled: ƒ isEnabled()
setEnabled: ƒ setEnabled(enabled)
trackEvent: ƒ trackEvent(eventName, properties)
arguments: null
caller: null
length: 2
name: "trackEvent"
prototype: {constructor: ƒ}
__proto__: ƒ ()
[[FunctionLocation]]: Analytics.js:8
[[Scopes]]: Scopes[2]
__proto__: Object

It was suggested that trackEvent requires passing a dictionary but this may be interpreted as an array. So I attempted to change this in appcenterLogger.js:

export function trackNavigation(from, to) {
  Analytics.trackEvent("AppNavigation", { from, to });
  console.log(Analytics);
}

to:

 export function trackNavigation(from, to) {
  Analytics.trackEvent("AppNavigation", { from: from, to: to });
  console.log(Analytics);
}

or

export function trackNavigation(from, to) { Analytics.trackEvent("AppNavigation"); console.log(Analytics); }

but the error persists. I am unclear as to how a module that exists as an object everywhere I inspect it in the project ends up returning null is not an object.
