To Reproduce
To reproduce crash use sample project linked below.

• Tap on "Open modal"
• Close modal tapping on yellow button and simultaneously do a swipe down.

If crash doesn't show up try a few times.

Expected behavior

Sample project
Here you can find a sample project to reproduce crash:
https://github.com/mapo80/ns-bug-gestures

Additional context
I've created a temporary fix using Webpack and changing source code of file "@nativescript/core/ui/gestures/gestures.ios.js".

This is the fix (but is only temporary):

    if (platform === 'ios') {
        config.module.rules.unshift({
          test: /@nativescript\/core\/ui\/gestures\/gestures\.js$/,
          use: [{
            loader: 'string-replace-loader',
            options: {
              search: new RegExp("var center = recognizer\.locationInView\\(args\.view\.nativeViewProtected\\);", 'g'),
              replace: 'if (args.view == null) { return; }\nvar center = recognizer.locationInView(args.view.nativeViewProtected);'
            },
          }],
        });
    }

I've replaced this:

var center = recognizer.locationInView(args.view.nativeViewProtected);

with this:

if (args.view == null) { 
    return; 
}
var center = recognizer.locationInView(args.view.nativeViewProtected);

How to solve this crash definitely?

Thanks for the sample project 👍

Thanks for reporting this issue @mapo80 - published in 6.5.6 now 🤗

[mapo80]

Hi @NathanWalker, thanks very much for the fix but I can't use new version because of this issue:
#8631

I don't know how to solve.

Thanks
