Imported asset WifiManager is null

[deadventures]

I installed with npm and linked with react-native link but the imported asset I get is always null. Is there something wrong with my setup or something I'm not doing correctly?

This is the exact error

TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating '_reactNativeWifi.default.connectToProtectedSSID')

For clarity, I am using Expo and this is my process:

1. expo init project-name
2. cd project-name
3. npm i react-native-wifi
4. react-native link react-native-wifi
5. [add example code from README to expo App.js]
6. expo start

At that point it fails on the connectToProtectedSSID() method with the error stated above.
