How to avoid installing react-native-reanimated? (Not using touch events)

[Avishayy]

I've upgraded my project, both in RN version and dependencies, react-native-gesture-handler included. I've upgraded from 1.5.2 to 2.1.0 and noticed that I need to install react-native-reanimated for my app to work, so I did.

The problem is that there are issues with debugging react native apps along with the package, so I'd prefer to avoid using it.

The installations docs say In order to fully utilize the touch events you also need to use react-native-reanimated 2.3.0-beta.4 or newer., which is not something I use.

It is not documented on what you should do if you want to avoid the reanimated package, but the wording makes it seem like it should be.

Downgrading the version back to 1.5.2 works, but if there's a concrete solution to use the newest version while disabling this, it would be great. I tried and 1.10.3 works too, seems like this is diverging from a new feature in 2.0.0
