Perform the below steps

1. remove node_modules folder

2. npm install react-native-gesture-handler

3. in your App.js import the below line

   import 'react-native-gesture-handler'

4. remove the build folder from android-> app -> build

5. npx react-native run-android

As a result of my searches the problem was this react-native-gesture-handler, So some time just restart you computer the error will fix, if that is not fix by restarting the PC then uninstalled and after that reinstalled this dependency. no need to remove node_modules and reinstall all, now the problem fixed.

uninstall:

npm uninstall react-native-gesture-handler --save 

install:

npm install react-native-gesture-handler --save
