@manjupriyajaintm i have the same problem did you get the error when using rn >= 0.60 ? did you manage to find any solutions.

[raajnadar]

Same problem did you find any fix. I tried in react native 0.61

[ashwingattani]

@kmagiera any update on this?

[raajnadar]

Forgot to update the thing that worked for me.

I updated my react native cli to latest alpha and followed the steps in this guide http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/navigation

yarn add react-navigation react-native-gesture-handler react-navigation-stack

Configure your router and react-native run-android

The autolinking worked in android (No extra setup needed in java files).

I've encountered the same issue.
This is caused by a new update I guess.

To save you some time, downgrade yourreact-native-gesture-handler to ~1.5.0

Don't forget to link if you are running react-native-cli <0.59

Can't see any solution from here. Did you find the solution?

[raajnadar]

Cd in to android folder run ./gradlew clean or gradlew clean according to your OS. Now run yarn react-native run-android

If that did not work remove yarn.lock and node_modules and run yarn

I believe this issue is related to your project's setup. I'd be happy to help but first need you to try the following:

1. Crate a fresh project, install navigation and gesture-handler library, see if the project builds correctly. If it fails with the same error, I'd be happy to help investigate. Please publish the sample repo you created and link it here
2. If the above builds corrrectly it means it is likely a problem of your project's setup. Please compare it to the sample project configuration and try to figure out what might be causing the build issue for you.
