Channel getMessagesCount causes app to crash

[simonasdev]

Hello,
In onSuccess calback for getMessagesCount method in RCTTwilioChatChannels.java, Long argument is being passed to promise.resolve, which, as far as I know, can't be done because react native doesn't implement conversion from Java Long to Javascript Number. The backtrace for the exception is as follows:

FATAL EXCEPTION: mqt_native_modules
Process: com.medcall, PID: 8210

I've found, that it is suggested to use either 64bit double, or 53bit int (source: facebook/react-native#9685)
Can anyone give suggestion how it should be implemented?

If anyone is looking for a quick hack to get the messages count, you can fetch the latest message with getMessages(1) and use the index property and increment it by 1. Note that this will probably only work if there are no deleted messages.
