react-native-gesture-handler: [Android] [RN 0.56.0] Invariant Violation: requireNativeComponent: "GestureHandlerRootView" was not found in the UIManager.

@abhidatta0 It did not solve it for me. my app works fine when I use Expo Go but I keep getting the error when I run the developer build of the app: Invariant Violation: requireNativeComponent: "RNGestureHandlerRootView" was not found in the UIManager.

This issue i had when using react-navigation in a project .Installing gesture-handle library solved this. import 'react-native-gesture-handler'

Just published 1.0.6 that includes this fix. Thanks everyone for reporting and testing the fix!

After a week of trying various solutions, I had to add the following in the android/build.gradle and then do an “npx react-native run-android” to fix this issue (typing it here so it might help someone else)

buildscript { ext { ... kotlinVersion = "1.5.20" } }

delete the node modules, run expo install and then expo install react-native-gesture-handler

Ah, looks like @mars-lan is right. We should revert the change that removed view manager for GestureHandlerRootView. Should have a fix ready shortly

@kmagiera

https://github.com/kmagiera/react-native-gesture-handler/pull/199 seems to be the culprit. Still need a ViewManager to expose RNGestureHandlerRootView to JS side.

npm install --save react-native-gesture-handler

I did this and it fixed it, I don’t use expo though so for me it was just npm i

am geting the error npm start
