I opened and built the project in xcode, that fixed this error for me.

Doing Pod Install and Restart the Xcode works for me.

Hi I am still getting this error. Pod install and restart of Xcode does not work.

And also install react-native-gesture-handler and react-native link for the android.

Having this same issue for Windows on Android on version 0.62.0-0. Tried the following and has not worked:

1) unlinking react-native-gesture-handler
2) rm -rf node_modules && npm install && react-native run-android --reset-cache
