Steps to reproduce

Actual behavior

More Info

It is related to uilib-native library, if I apply the patch from that https://github.com/wix/react-native-ui-lib/issues/3805 it works without any error, so when we can expect it to be merged into uilib-native lib?

Environment
  • React Native version: 0.84.1 (new arch enabled, hermes enabled)
  • React Native UI Lib version: 8.3.4 (latest)
  • uilib-native: 5.0.1 (latest)
Affected platforms
  • Android

Research direction

Start with the Android build launched by yarn android and inspect the generated android/app/build/generated/autolinking/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/PackageList.java entries for HighlighterViewPackage and KeyboardInputPackage. Compare the behavior with the patch referenced in issue #3805 and the uilib-native 5.0.1 setup. Done means the React Native 0.84.1 Android debug build completes without either missing-symbol error.
