[0.74.0-rc.0] Specs are generated but not correctly linked to `appmodules`

Old Version

0.73.0

New Version

0.74.0-rc.0

Description

In 0.74.0-rc.0, specs are generated but not correctly linked to appmodules:

  /~/android/app/build/generated/rncli/src/main/jni/rncli.cpp:10:10: fatal error: 'RNWWebStorageSpec.h' file not found
  #include <RNWWebStorageSpec.h>
           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  1 error generated.

Bisecting nightlies, I found that the first build to fail is 0.74.0-nightly-20240220-e9351f0f8. The one before that, 0.74.0-nightly-20240219-28da7f9f5, builds fine.

Steps to reproduce

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-test-app.git
cd react-native-test-app
npm run set-react-version 0.74 -- --core-only
yarn
cd example/android
sed -i '' 's/#newArchEnabled/newArchEnabled/' gradle.properties
./gradlew assembleDebug

Thanks for reporting this @tido64 Fix is here:

• https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/pull/2306

This requires a bump of the CLI on the 0.74 branch.

BTW for the future: This:

sed -i '' 's/#newArchEnabled/newArchEnabled/' gradle.properties
./gradlew assembleDebug

can be just this:

./gradlew  assembleDebug -PnewArchEnabled=true

Fixed in RC1 👍
