Description

Currently, we are manually verifying that auto-linking a native module into an app works correctly. Recent upgrades have broken this workflow after publish, which has been a pain point for us.

This task is tracking creating a sample native module, and a test that runs in the CI loop to exercise auto-linking. Perhaps the test should create an app and auto-link the sample module... whatever most effectively covers the scenario our customers use.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the CI loop and the existing app and native-module test setup, then determine how to create a sample native module and exercise auto-linking after publish. The work is complete when an end-to-end test creates or uses an app, auto-links the sample module, and runs reliably in CI to cover the customer workflow.
