Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the runtime initialization and Android build configuration, then determine how napi_register_module_v1 should be exposed and which runtime parts must be disabled; done means the checklist works for React Native embedding, with a clear decision on Hermes V1 support.

Description

For embedding NativeScript in React Native using https://github.com/callstackincubator/react-native-node-api we need to add support for initializing the runtime with napi_register_module_v1.

  • Add a build flag to build the runtime as a napi module
  • Disable parts of runtime code that are unrelated or might cause issues when running as a module
  • Update to Hermes V1 if possible
