Is there a single example of a React Native Android native module that DOESN'T involve a magical 250-line build.gradle file?
Where does this thing come from? Is everyone just copy-pasting from community modules and mutating from there? Where is this standardised?

@hampus_s has been maintaining one such package since October 2024 which looks hopeful (there's not even an "android" folder). I wonder if it is an implementation of Burak's original example (e.g. it similarly has a scripts/generate-codegen-specs.cjs).

It's a popular feature request in React Native Builder Bob, though @satya164 indicates that the main reason Bob lacks a template for it is that it's unclear what the correct way to do it is.

I'm curious whether anyone else ever gets this issue when building an Expo / React Native Android app:
> Cannot convert '' to File.
It's the most common build-time bug I run into. I've found a solution, but I'd like to know how widespread the problem is, too.

I'm working on porting React Native Fiddle from Electron (left) to Expo macOS (right).
It's still WebView-based, because no native components match Monaco for React dev 🤷♂️
My main motivation is DX – I'm fed up with various parts of the Fiddle architecture and broken debugging.

It would be really nice to have a substitute for Monaco and do this all using native views, but there's no native code editor that:
- offers TypeScript intellisense and JSX syntax highlighting
- is implemented for both macOS and Windows
- offers a React Native native module
