Crash Caused in Android, with potential solution provided

[terryatgithub]

Hi! 👋
Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

issue descriptions
since this statement

ios/android/app/build.gradle

Line 79 in 904a99f

apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"

would cause a crash issue in Android like this: couldn't find DSO to load: libhermes.so

potential solution

would you consider fixing it, as the react-native official recommendation here:
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/7ea7d946c643f076c29bcf11b927f7569e3c516f/react.gradle#L18

my trial solutions(still under testing)

Today I used patch-package to patch @react-native-community/push-notification-ios@1.8.0 for the project I'm working on.

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

oh yea, we just got it on our prod, errors after upgrading to RN 72, so its possibly coming from this lib?

we referred this comment facebook/react-native#36048 (comment)

our solution code as below for reference

    private final ReactNativeHost mReactNativeHost =
                new DefaultReactNativeHost(this) {
                @Override
                public boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() {
                    return BuildConfig.DEBUG;
                }

                @Override
                protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
                    return getPackageFromMainFeature();
                }

                @Override
                protected String getJSMainModuleName() {
                    return "index";
                }

+                @Override
+                protected @Nullable JavaScriptExecutorFactory getJavaScriptExecutorFactory() {
+                   // because ReactNativeHost is overriden here, specify the HermesExecutorFactory():
+                  // refer: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/36048#issuecomment-1456157287
+                 return new HermesExecutorFactory();
+            }

                @Override
                protected boolean isNewArchEnabled() {
                    return BuildConfig.IS_NEW_ARCHITECTURE_ENABLED;
                }
                @Override
                protected Boolean isHermesEnabled() {
                    return BuildConfig.IS_HERMES_ENABLED;
                }
            };

    @Override
    public ReactNativeHost getReactNativeHost() {
        return mReactNativeHost;
    }
