Missing reproducer: We could not detect a reproducible example in your issue report. Reproducers are mandatory and we can accept only one of those as a valid reproducer:

• For majority of bugs: send us a Pull Request with the RNTesterPlayground.js edited to reproduce your bug.
• If your bug is UI related: a Snack
• If your bug is build/upgrade related: a project using our Reproducer Template

You can read more about about it on our website: How to report a bug.

You are missing a call in your Application class
com.facebook.react.ReactNativeApplicationEntryPoint.loadReactNative(this); // Sending the entire path so you can do your imports.

Internally this one handles the SOLoader.init call inside of a try-catch.

[camboYY]

override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
SoLoader.init(this, false)

    // 2️⃣ If New Architecture is enabled, load React Native
    if (BuildConfig.IS_NEW_ARCHITECTURE_ENABLED) {
        try {
            com.facebook.react.ReactNativeApplicationEntryPoint.loadReactNative(this)
        } catch (t: Throwable) {
            // swallow safely; prevents crash if load fails
            t.printStackTrace()
        }
    }
    // OkHttp pinning
    OkHttpClientProvider.setOkHttpClientFactory(OkHttpCertPin())

    // App Shielding
    if (BuildConfig.FLAVOR in listOf("prod", "uat") && appShieldingEnabled) {
        setupAppShielding()
    }
}

i have disabled or enabled new architecture, however, it does not make any difference.
