Issue in linking package in RN >= 0.60

  npmGlobalPackages:
    react-native-cli: 2.0.1
    react-native-git-upgrade: 0.2.7

The package is not properly working with react-native version >=0.60. I have followed each steps to install but it is not working after linking the package. When I ran react-native link react-native-gesture-handler, it produces error link below;

If i try to link the package manually, I get error like,

fatal error: 'React/RCTEventDispatcher.h' file not found
#import <React/RCTEventDispatcher.h>
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess this issue is with RN 0.60.3, because I have tried it RN0.60.0 and it was working fine with v0.60.0.

My Package.json looks like below;

{
  "name": "animations",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-native start",
    "test": "jest",
    "lint": "eslint .",
    "postinstall": "jetify"
  },
  "dependencies": {

react-native-gesture-handler is compatible with autolinking. What you need to do:

• if you have it linked already (e.g upgrading existing project), run unlink:

  react-native unlink react-native-gesture-hadnler
  

• adjust MainActivity.java: https://kmagiera.github.io/react-native-gesture-handler/docs/getting-started.html#android

• make sure to run jetifier on “postinstall” step because it’s not yet compatible with AndroidX

• run cd ios && pod install for iOS project

@ravimaurya-nickelfox @kimihiro64 you don’t need to add react-native.config.js. It was mentioned by react-navigation but is obsolete now. What you need to do is to run cd ios && pod install before running iOS app.
