I was able to fix the issue. It’s related to react-native-safe-area-context. Here is the PR: https://github.com/th3rdwave/react-native-safe-area-context/pull/302

With my fix I was able to run the app with RN 0.69.3 and the new arch and hermes in true

Hi! Because of the fact that it’s still very early in the new architecture adoption and some major changes between React Native 0.68 and 0.69 (and the fact that Reanimated will support the new architecture starting with RN 0.69), we decided to make Gesture Handler compatible with RN 0.69 without backwards compatibility (only on the new architecture, when using the old one it should work as expected). I’d recommend upgrading to RN 0.69, which should solve the problem.
