Few latest release versions(2.15.0, 2.16.0, 2.16.1, 2.16.2) causing iOS build crash, version 2.14.1 is fine

Description

When I update react-native-gesture-handler version, iOS build crashes. 2.14.1 --> 2.15.0/2.16.0/2.16.1/2.16.2
After a little digging, the causing line is here. Since I noticed that when I change this line back to

        auto shadowNode = arguments[0].asObject(runtime).getHostObject<ShadowNodeWrapper>(runtime)->shadowNode;

which is identical in version 2.14.1 here, iOS builds ok.

Our current policy regarding the new architecture support is to support only the most recent version, which at the time of writing is 0.74. The crash you're describing is caused by a breaking change between RN 0.73 and 0.74.

I see you were able to work around it by using a patch. I would recommend using that until the PR that upgrades Expensify to 0.74 is merged.
