General Problems with ReactNative #1: RCT.RootContentView.h file not found ReactNativeGestureHandler.m

This problem arises when there the version of ReactNativeGestureHandler installed during NPM Install isn't compatible with the installed React-Native version.

Solution

  • To solve this:

    1. Check the version mentioned in the package.json and the actual version installed in the package.json in node_modules.

    2. Check the React-Native version mentioned in the package.json and actual version installed in node_modules

    3. Check the documentation of ReactNativeGestureHandler for the React-Native version support.

    4. Downgrade or Upgrade the version accordingly.

    5. ^ in the package.json downloads a higher version, removing ^ and just keeping the version number ensures the same version is installed every time npm install (applicable to yarn as well) is run.

    Eg.

    My react-native version is 0.58

    Intended version downlod of ReactNativeGestureHandler is 1.0.15 ("react-native-gesture-handler": "^1.0.15", this installs higher version),

    Changed it to "react-native-gesture-handler": "1.0.15"
