Does react-native-testing-library work on react-native 0.60.6?

Follow up question: Should react-native-testing-library be bumped to require >=0.61.0

Looks like react-native on 0.60.6 requires react on 16.8.6 which is below the required 16.9.0 for react-native-testing-library. Is 0.60.6 compatible or should the documentation be changed to >=0.61.0.

This is in response to the documentation quote

In order to properly use helpers for async tests (findBy queries and waitFor) you need at least React >=16.9.0 (featuring async act) or React Native >=0.60 (which comes with React >=16.9.0).

Good catch! Looks like the docs need to be updated from 0.60 to 0.61. However you should still be able to test on lower RN versions, just without async act. Would you like to send a PR do the docs? :)
