Can't load libraries that are in dynamic feature modules

I’m trying to include a React Native activity in a dynamic feature module. It works when it’s included in the base APK, but it looks like some hackery is needed when loading native libraries that are in an installed dynamic feature module: SplitInstallHelper.loadLibrary() should be used on 26+ rather than System.loadLibrary(). Currently I’m getting a crash saying the native library couldn’t be found, and this seems like the most likely culprit. Since SoLoader is the one making the actual call, I’m not sure how I could do that from my end. I tried using sSystemLoadLibraryWrapper, but it looks like my loadLibrary() never gets called.

You can use my fork of SoLoader on the develop branch, build it and include the AAR in your project and see if it works.

Should be something like

dependencies {
      ...
     implementation ('com.facebook.react:react-native:+') {
          exclude group: 'com.facebook.soloader', module: 'soloader'
     }
     implementation name: 'soloader', ext: 'aar'
}

repositories {
      flatDir {
           dirs 'libs'
      }
}

Weird, it doesn’t work for me. The SoLoader does not find the native libraries:

D/SoLoader: About to load: libjscexecutor.so
D/SoLoader: libjscexecutor.so not found on /data/data/<package>/lib-main
D/SoLoader: libjscexecutor.so not found on /data/data/<package>/lib-0
D/SoLoader: libjscexecutor.so not found on /data/data/<package>/lib-1
D/SoLoader: libjscexecutor.so not found on /data/app/<package>-LxW4qT73Kp0GBM4oUp20OQ==/lib/arm64
D/SoLoader: libjscexecutor.so not found on /vendor/lib
D/SoLoader: libjscexecutor.so not found on /system/lib
E/SoLoader: couldn't find DSO to load: libjscexecutor.so result: 0

The native libraries are actually located in

/data/data/<package>/files/splitcompat/3/native-libraries/dynamicfeature.config.arm64_v86/

But the SoLoader does not seem to pick up this path. I wonder why it would work for you if your libs are in the same location.

I guess this is where SplitInstallHelper.loadLibrary() would search for.
