Is there any easy way to enable TurboModule and Fabric without custom stuffs?

Description

I found that the tutorial of enabling TurboModule and Fabric in Android part is way more complicated than it is in iOS part, it seems that the example in Android part contains a lot of custom stuffs, such as NativeAwesomeManager, MyComponentsRegistry and so on, which is not mentioned in iOS. I enabled these two features on iOS easily, but struggling on Android side.

I got some confusions about the tutorial:

1. The Android part contains tutorials about customize a TurbolModule and a Fabric engine, while iOS part only contains tutorials about how to enable TurbolModule and Fabric, right?
2. Even if I didn't custom TurbolModule and Fabric in Android, these two features should still be able to used, right? (I guessed so because I found that the RN framework use the techs in this tutorial to generate rncore)
3. If two is right, this there any easy way to just enable them without customizing?

Version

0.68.1

I'm trying the new architecture as well and I find really hard to understand all the code and changes they make in the java files.

Maybe a 'simpler' documentation would be nice to have for people who just want to use w/o custom components as you said.

Thanks for the report @psionic12

Have you considered using the new app template (i.e. npx react-native init). All the extra stuff will be automatically generated for you.

And yes, those are necessary as the Android logic now needs to know which C++ modules to load. On iOS the setup was easier as we were already compiling native code in the past.

Closing as this was a question, not a real issue. Thanks for reporting it though 👍

@cortinico thanks for helping, the template helps, I finally enable fabric without customizing any JS code. When I say "complicated", I don't mean to use C++ or JNI, I mean the Android tutorial teaches how to enable fabric and how to custom one with your own JS code in one place, which may lead to a reader to confuse which part is a necessary, and which part is optional. It looks to me that the iOS tutorial is much clearer.
