Cannot run app on Android at all - UnsatisfiedLinkError: dlopen failed: library "libjsc.so" not found

See original GitHub issue

Description

When running on Android I get the following error: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: dlopen failed: library "libjsc.so" not found.

Here’s my Logcat output:

Some lines after that, the React Context fails to initialize (I’m guessing that’s related?):

I was experiencing an issue on Android and was seeing this error early in the adb logcat output and spent some time trying to figure out why it was occurring. After some time I determined that this error about libjsc is non-fatal and normal while using Hermes. In my case, Flipper was causing a fatal error that occurred later in the adb logcat output. Figured I’d share here in case anybody else is seeing this.
