Description

I'm using TypeScript in my project, so if I want to change my entrypoint, setting getJSMainModuleName to the path of a TypeScript file (with a .ts or .tsx extension) results in something like src/Path/To/File.ts.js.

Reproducible Demo

Any generic React Native project with TS configured. Edit here.

Hey @atrauzzi, thanks for filing - this file has to be a javascript file, we can't use a typescript file for this

@rickhanlonii - Why not just resolve it as a module and let babel take care of what you get?

@atrauzzi in prod, when this code is run this code has already been transpiled so you couldn't require the ts.
