undefined is not an object (evaluating 'RNGestureHandlerModule.State' - react-native

Question

I have installed react-navigation in my React Native project. Its a starter project doesn't have any codes. But while running project I am facing error like this.
Here is my Navigation code
import { createStackNavigator } from 'react-navigation';
import Home from './screens/Home';
import WeatherDetail from './screens/WeatherDetail';
const Navigation = createStackNavigator({
Home: { screen: Home },
WeatherDetail: {
screen: WeatherDetail
}
});
export default Navigation;
And here is the App.js codes
import Navigator from './Router';
export default class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Navigator />
</View>
);
}
}
If I remove the navigator component from the App.js and replace it with a Text the application runs without any error.

Answer 1

remove node_modules and package-lock.json
npm install
npm install --save react-navigation
npm install --save react-native-gesture-handler
react-native link

Answer 2

If you are using react-link to link your dependencies:
0pen your ios Podfile and delete all yout linked dependencies: pod 'xxxxxxx', :path => '../node_modules/xxxxx
Close Xcode
In your /ios folder run "pod update"
In your project source run "react-native link"
Open Xcode and Clean Build Folder from Xcode Menu -> Product
Run your application from Xcode
Link manually the dependency "react-native-gesture-handler" into your Xcode Project following steps in documentation: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/linking-libraries-ios
Now run your application from Xcode, you should be fine.

Answer 3

From the official doc:
If you're on React Native >= 0.60, you need to disable autolinking for react-native-gesture-handler first. To disable autolinking for it, create a react-native.config.js file in the root of your project with the following content:
module.exports = {
dependencies: {
'react-native-gesture-handler': {
platforms: {
android: null,
ios: null,
},
},
},
};
If your are using React 0.60, just omit this official doc. Follow following steps:
rm react-native.config.js if exist
react-native link react-native-gesture-handler
cd ios && pod install && cd ..
react-native run-ios

Answer 4

I get the same error on ios from RN v0.60
The following worked for me:
cd ios
pod install

Answer 5

First, remove node_modules and package-lock.json and run npm install.
After installing the react-navigation package in your React Native project. You should install react-native-gesture-handler. If you’re using Expo you don’t need to do anything here, it’s included in the SDK. Otherwise:
npm install react-native-gesture-handler
And finally, link gesture dependency as:
react-native link react-native-gesture-handler
This answer based on the React Navigation document.

Answer 6

maybe someone come here because same problem as me.
i got this error because i'm using react-navigation version 3.x, in that version stackNavigator is change to createStackNavigator and should use createAppContainer(createStackNavigator)
im fix it just like mr.amiri said but im not delete my node_module im just follow step 3 - 5

Answer 7

Since I am not allowed to comment, I am posting it here. This is the answer by #Amiri Houssem but I am adding one more thing:
remove node_modules and package-lock.json
npm install
npm install --save react-navigation
npm install --save react-native-gesture-handler
react-native link
If there is an error even after these 5 steps, check android/settings.gradle and change that line to this:
project(':react-native-gesture-handler').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-gesture-handler/android')

Answer 8

I'm answering because none of the above answers were relevant to me.
I got this error because VSCode automatically inserted import { TouchableOpacity } from 'react-native-gesture-handler' as a dependency in my file when I added a <TouchableOpacity> element.
Give the last files you edited a once-over just in case there's an import statement you don't expect!

Answer 9

I used this in the CLI to solve the issue
cd iOS
pod install
cd ..
react-native unlink react-native-gesture-handler

Answer 10

Uninstalled the app from the device and run the android project - react-native run-android and it worked fine

Answer 11

you can check your version of react-native
if React Native 0.59 and lower you can
react-native link react-native-gesture-handler
and check your #react-navigation version in
https://reactnavigation.org/versions

Answer 12

may be its late.
Temporary solution downgrade the version of react navigation:
1- unlink and uninstall react-navigation and the handler
2- add "react-navigation": "^2.18.2" to package.json
3- remove node_modules folder
4- npm i
5- react-native link

Answer 13

if you have done the above, it hasn't run yet, try this
if you use Windows
cd android
.\gradlew cleanBuildCache
and try running it
react-native run-android

Answer 14

Even though react-native-gesture-handler is present in node_modules folder, we need to add it to path or install it again. Then link with native code.
1) npm install --save react-native-gesture-handler
success Saved 1 new dependency.
info Direct dependencies
└─ react-native-gesture-handler#1.0.15
info All dependencies
└─ react-native-gesture-handler#1.0.15
2) react-native link
rnpm-install info Linking react-native-gesture-handler ios dependency
rnpm-install info Platform 'ios' module react-native-gesture-handler has been
successfully linked
rnpm-install info Linking react-native-gesture-handler android dependency
rnpm-install info Platform 'android' module react-native-gesture-handler has
been successfully linked
3) react-native run-android or react-native run-ios

Answer 15

If you are using a configuration with Podfile in ios. Follow this steps:
Comment this line pod 'RNGestureHandler', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-gesture-handler' in <react-native-project>/ios/Podfile.
Open <react-native-project>.xcworkspace Add RNGestureHandler.xcodeproj in Libraries (Right click over library folder and select "Add files to ") from node_modules/react-native-gesture-handler/ios.
Add libRNGestureHandler.a in (Build Phases) -> (Link Binary With Libraries).

Answer 16

This worked well for me as well.
1) npm install react-navigation
2) npm install react-native-gesture-handler
3) npm intstall
4) react-native link
uninstall the app
5) react-native run-android

Answer 17

Execute the following commands in command prompt (Run as Administrator)
npm install react-navigation
npm install react-native-gesture-handler
npm intstall
react-native link
Re-Install the application will resolve the issue.

Answer 18

I struggled with this and none of the above answers worked for me. Here's what I had to do:
Delete your ios folder entirely.
Delete your node_modules folder and package-lock.json.
Restart your computer.
Run react-native eject to re-create your native code folders.
Run npm install
Run react-native link
Run npm run start -- --reset--cache
Now run react-native run-ios

Answer 19

see your native react version, if version 0.60 then you must migrate to androidX using a jetifier, follow the steps in this link
https://github.com/mikehardy/jetifier
successful for me :)

Answer 20

If you're on React Native >= 0.60:
You should see the following entry in your ios/Podfile:
pod 'RNGestureHandler', :path => '../node_modules/react-native-gesture-handler'
If this line is not there, first run:
react-native link react-native-gesture-handler
ios/Podfile should now contain a new entry.
Now run this command from iOS directory /ios/:
pod install
Run your iOS project again either directly using XCode or react-native run-ios
