Summary
RN 0.81 & 0.82 have a bugged default value of the
jsBundleAssetPathargument, which controls the filename to be loaded fromasset://. By default, it isindex, which is correct for Metro (dev mode)jsMainModulePath, but incorrect for asset bundle - it should beindex.android.bundle.The fix is present in RN upstream and included in 0.83 RC (react/react-native#53546), but has not been backported.
This PR passes the correct default value explicitly and also allows users to pass a custom value for this argument via the options HashMap.
Test plan
Run an app in release variant using an exported AAR & verify that the JS bundle is loaded and executed correctly.
Note
Explicitly sets
jsBundleAssetPath(defaultindex.android.bundle) in React host initialization and documents the option in Java/Kotlin guides.ReactNativeBrownfield.initialize(application, options, ...)to passjsBundleAssetPathtogetDefaultReactHost, defaulting to"index.android.bundle"and allowing override viaoptions["bundleAssetPath"].mainModuleNameapplies when loading from Metro.jsBundleAssetPathoption description for Java/Kotlin (docs/JAVA.md,docs/KOTLIN.md).Written by Cursor Bugbot for commit ff9b047.
