Seems to be fixed by adding a try/catch to dispatchTouchEventin RNGestureHandlerEnabledRootView.java to :

  @Override
  public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    try {
      if (mGestureRootHelper != null && mGestureRootHelper.dispatchTouchEvent(ev)) {
        return true;
      }
      if (super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev)) {
        return true;
      }
    }catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return false;
  }

Hi folks!
I'm wondering, why this try/catch fix is not merged to release versions?

I still have issue with multiple touches. I used try / catch construction and it fixed app crashes for me.
So, what can we do for fixed this in release?

"react": "16.9.0",
"react-native": "0.61.4",
"react-native-gesture-handler": "^1.5.2"

Could you tell me how to repro?

osdnk on 20 Mar 2019

I'm afraid that's a bug in our code but I cannot reproduce this case

osdnk on 20 Mar 2019

@cvlehe
Tried to repro on my Sony, but haven't managed

osdnk on 31 Mar 2019

I'm able to reproduce consistently by rapidly tapping on a view with a PanGestureHandler with multiple fingers. After doing that for a few seconds, the app will crash. We're seeing a large number of events for this issue in our crash log.

Following https://github.com/kmagiera/react-native-gesture-handler/pull/522#issuecomment-480433629 I suppose it's a no longer valid issue.

No fixed yet, happen on RN 0.59.4 + RNGH 1.3.0

smadey on 26 Jun 2019

I believe the issue still persists.

RN 0.60.4
react-native-gesture-handler: 1.3.0
react-navigation: 3.11.1

I came across the error during Googles Automatic tests when am App is submitted to Play store.

App failed to run on Pixel with Android 7.1 but at the same time crash error showed up on firebase for the version.

I tried to reproduce the error using Emulator and the result was same.. Just opened the App and it hung and crashed.

To reproduce :
Simply Run the app having RN PAN responding components on Android Pixel Emulator with API 25.

I do not have a physical Pixel Device with API 25.
So the question for the developer is if this issue is only restricted to Pixel Emulator + android 7.1 / API 25? Or one should one be worried as i have just put the latest app version to production??
