+ * Calling this will result in emitting a "touches cancelled" event to js,

+ *
+ * This API is exposed for integration purposes where you embed RN rootView
+ * in a native view with a native gesture recognizer,
+ * whose activation should prevent any in-flight js "gesture recognizer" from activating.
+ *
+ * An example would be RN rootView embedded in an UIScrollView.
+ * When you touch down on a touchable component and drag your finger up,
+ * you don't want any touch to be registered as soon as the UIScrollView starts scrolling.
+ *
+ * Note that this doesn't help with tapping on a touchable element that is being scrolled,
+ * unless you can call cancelTouches exactly between "touches began" and "touches ended" events.
+ * This is a reason why this API may be soon removed in favor of a better solution.
