Crash: No implementation found for void com.tns.AssetExtractor.extractAssets

Environment

• CLI: 4.2.1
• Cross-platform modules: 4.2.0
• Android Runtime: 4.2.0

Describe the bug

We got several crash reports mostly occuring on Huawei devices running Android 9.0 where the app crashes on startup because of a missing AssetExtractor implementation (which seems pretty weird)

Any ideas what's happening there and how to resolve it?

Start with the AssetExtractor.extractAssets entry point and follow its call from RuntimeHelper.initRuntime during NativeScriptApplication.onCreate. Compare the reported JNI method signature with the available implementation and reproduce startup on the affected Android configuration. Done means startup no longer raises UnsatisfiedLinkError for extractAssets.
