Answer

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
