Hi @aryanagarwal15 , we are sorry you are facing this issue.

From the stack trace, it looks like something is going on with the PagerView. Can you verify if the stack trace is the same for all the crashes that the App Store sent you? If that the case, it could be that the react-native-pager-view does not implement recycling correctly.
In that case, can you open an issue in the react-native-pager-view repo?

@cipolleschi thanks for the quick response, I have opened an issue here: react-native-pager-view
