{
    CGPoint pos = [gesture locationInView:_backedTextInputView];
    pos.y += _backedTextInputView.contentOffset.y;
    
    UITextPosition *tapPos = [_backedTextInputView closestPositionToPoint:pos];
    UITextRange *word = [_backedTextInputView.tokenizer rangeEnclosingPosition:tapPos withGranularity:(UITextGranularityWord) inDirection:UITextLayoutDirectionRight];
    
    UITextPosition* beginning = _backedTextInputView.beginningOfDocument;
    
    UITextPosition *selectionStart = word.start;
    UITextPosition *selectionEnd = word.end;
    
    const NSInteger location = [_backedTextInputView offsetFromPosition:beginning toPosition:selectionStart];
    const NSInteger endLocation = [_backedTextInputView offsetFromPosition:beginning toPosition:selectionEnd];
    
    self.onHighlightPress(@{
        @"clickedRangeStart": @(location),
        @"clickedRangeEnd": @(endLocation),
    });
}

Sadly I dont own IOS or mac so I can't fix this if it is really an issue.

But no body have complained about this so I dont know if the issue is really with the library.

If someone could test this?

I am also facing the same issue. is any one have luck?

[AlenToma]

I have build another library may be as a replacement.

@AlenToma thank you for your support. for now I changed in native library code of your and I replace this line UITextRange *word = [_backedTextInputView.tokenizer rangeEnclosingPosition:tapPos withGranularity:(UITextGranularityWord) inDirection: inDirection:UITextLayoutDirectionRight]; to UITextRange *word = [_backedTextInputView.tokenizer rangeEnclosingPosition:tapPos withGranularity:(UITextGranularityWord) inDirection:UITextWritingDirectionNatural];

and its work for me in all versions of IOS.

@Harshkansaramoon Have you got app crash when long press a word and swipe right ？whether some new feature update caused this issue on ios 16？

[AlenToma]

@Harshkansaramoon could you check in your version of the fix and I will do pull and publish it.

Hi, we have implemented https://www.npmjs.com/package/@vandrei977/react-native-selectable-text and that is forked from this library. We are not getting any crash.
