Worked on the software-mansion/react-native-gesture-handler repository to address a critical compatibility issue affecting React 19+ on the web. Delivered a targeted fix that resolved errors related to direct refs access, ensuring the gesture handler library remained stable and functional across platforms. The solution involved debugging web-specific behavior, applying Git-based patches, and validating the fix in a real web project, which eliminated the runtime console error. Utilized JavaScript, TypeScript, and React Native to maintain cross-platform parity and reduce future maintenance overhead. Documented the changes clearly, referenced the related issue, and provided a test plan to support ongoing library reliability.
