[Image] pointerEvents prop for Image component?

[joncursi]

There are a variety of use cases where being able to specify pointerEvents on an image would solve zIndex / overlap / touch event complexities. Please see react-native-maps/react-native-maps#562 (comment) as an example.

It appears that wrapping the Image component in a

<View
  pointerEvents="none"
/>

doesn't seem to do the trick either.

Why wouldn't having <View pointerEvents="none"><Image/></View> not solve the issue? That should make the entire view untouchable. Even without it, a view itself does not have a touch interaction of its own, so a view like <View><Image/></View> should not need any pointer events as far as I understand. Can you share the code example that doesn't work?

zIndex docs are here https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/layout-props.html#zindex . I'm not sure how pointerEvents relate to zIndex though.
