Description
Environment
mutliple versions seems to be affected at least up to
Installed
Android SDK : 29
Android SDK Build-Tools: 29.0.3
node.js : 10.21.0
nativescript : 6.7.8
Error
Over the time we disabled all "optimize" features because all those seems to be bugged..
Since our version 0.3.2 we went forward and enabled .aab builds.
Now we get following error reports.
Fatal Exception: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError
dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.xxx.mobile-tFMIkE3egIQbK2hZc5zevg==/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/com.xxx.mobile-tFMIkE3egIQbK2hZc5zevg==/lib/x86, /system/lib, /vendor/lib]]] couldn't find "libNativeScript.so"
Fatal Exception: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError
dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.xxx.mobile-QNIyApCG7KlgDAGIJkBlmA==/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/com.xxx.mobile-QNIyApCG7KlgDAGIJkBlmA==/lib/arm64, /system/lib64, /vendor/lib64, /system/product/lib64]]] couldn't find "libNativeScript.so"
Theres not a single error in our build pipelines, but still the build process seems not to link the needed library correctly..
If the error rate increases further we also need to disable this again, truely disappointing.
To Reproduce
active aab build, deliver to customers
Expected behavior
not crashing

Research direction
Start with the Android AAB build and native library packaging path, using the reported java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError and missing libNativeScript.so as the failure point. Reproduce by enabling an AAB build and delivering it to a customer device; done means the generated AAB includes the required native library and no longer crashes on the reported architectures.
