Commencez par PathUtils.kt au niveau de detectOSAwareHermesCommand et par BundleHermesCTask.kt au niveau de la tâche en échec, puis reproduisez le problème avec yarn install et la tâche staging Android bundle. Déterminez pourquoi l’installation de React Native 0.83 ne contient pas le chemin hermesc attendu sur la configuration macOS indiquée ; le travail est terminé lorsque le build localise Hermes sans nécessiter de surcharge manuelle inexpliquée.
