demo

You may have to copy autoHeightWebView, android, node_modules folders to ‘demo/node_modules/react-native-autoheight-webview/‘, cause of installing a local package with npm will create symlink, but there is no supporting of React Native to symlink (https://github.com/facebook/watchman/issues/105).
