PanResponder.onPanResponderMove not responding for pinch

[weixingsun]

Hello,

I cannot get event that more than 2 touches in my Android 6.0.1/iOS 9.3 device with RN.29, which is very annoying
Help needed, any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

PanResponder.create({
onPanResponderMove: (evt, gestureState){
if(evt.nativeEvent.touches.length<2) //move
//if(evt.nativeEvent.changedTouches.length<2) //also move?
else //pinch, this condition is never called.
}
...
})
//Is PanResponder changing the API ?
thanks very much!

looks like the PanResponder is not so popular, anyway I'll keep it open as a tracking place

Hi @slorber, I've just faced with same problem and it looks like PanResponder.onPanResponderMove don't work only when it place in Modal. I was trying to implement image view component with zoom in Modal and fail, but when I replaced Modal with simple View the handler started response.
There is an issue about this bug #14295
