@abdullahIsa hi, you should check your react-native-gesture-handler version and ensure it more than v2.0.0

ah thanks, working now, i added this in package.json

"overrides": {
    "react-native-gesture-handler": "^2.9.0"
}

this is not a solution as whenever there is an update in either conflicting package versions, you need to go back and hardcode the version bump.

[frozencap]

is there any particular reason why the lib is frozen to 2.8.0 ?

    "react-native-gesture-handler": "~2.8.0",

I'm using ^2.5.0 and the lib has reached 2.9. Maybe a version bump here ?
