Looks like this is to do with the new autolinking feature in RN 0.60.

To fix for now just add the following podspec for RNGesureHandler to ios/Podfile

pod 'RNGestureHandler', :podspec => '../node_modules/react-native-gesture-handler/RNGestureHandler.podspec'

Then in the ios directory run pod install to install it.
