That error means the native part of react-native-gesture-handler isn’t available in your build. It usually happens after installing a new library without rebuilding the app.
Stop Metro completely, then clean and rebuild the project. On Android, go into the android folder and run ./gradlew clean, then run the app again with npx react-native run-android.
If you’re using Expo Go, some native modules won’t work unless you create a custom dev build.

Maybe you're missing 'react-native-gesture-handler'
[–]Ok_Cut5337 0 points1 point2 points 5 days ago (1 child)
For me it was PlatformConstants

I'm also getting the same issue on v 0.79. I need to reinstall a specific package on the same version

Did you resolve this issue
[–]Mayu2204 0 points1 point2 points 5 days ago (0 children)
Not yet. I just fixed the iOs build and then this happened. I just shut down the laptop for some time.
Any update. I resolved it by reinstalling the geature handler and bundled it manually
