I'm working on creating an npm module for use in react native that uses native java/ objective c libraries and I'm running into some trouble with android.
I'm following the react native documentation for creating native modules here: https://reactnative.dev/docs/native-modules-setup
Those steps are straight forward and I'm able to get my native code in place, run npm pack in the root directory of the module, npm install /path/to/module/package-0.1.0.tgz in the root directory of my project, cd ios && pod install and have the native ios module linked, running fine and accessible via NativeModule.
I start running into problems on the android side because the module doesn't appear with the rest of the packages, as far as I know everything should auto link and I shouldnt need any custom setup but non the less I've tried adding include ':custom-package' to settings.gradle, and even adding packages.add(new CustomPackage()); to MainApplication.java but of course it's unable to resolve my CustomPackage. Is there something I'm missing? Seems odd that android isnt working considering I'm using the built in create-react-native-library command.
