feat(android): populate home screen with AppRegistry entries

[tido64]

Description

Similar to #482, but for Android.

Resolves #189.

Platforms affected

• Android
• iOS
• macOS
• Windows

Test plan

See test plan in #482.

Flipper crashes on startup with this change. I'm not sure why, but downgrading it to 0.105 resolves the issue. The SIGILL comes from the device trying to load different .so files on startup, but the app should load fine. Bump to 0.164 to make it go away.

This needs to be tested on:

• 0.64 (no libjsi.so, should show blank screen)
• 0.68 (has release libjsi.so)
• 0.69 (has debug/release libjsi.so)
• 0.69 + new arch (uses ndkBuild, libjsi.so already linked)
• 0.70 (has debug/release libjsi.so)
• 0.70 + new arch (uses cmake, libjsi.so already linked)

Note that for new arch, you will need to force resolve rn-cli to 9.x for autolinking.

Tested:

• ❌ 0.64 (no libjsi.so)

  • fails on yarn android with error react-native-test-app/example/node_modules/react-native-test-app/android/app/src/main/java/com/microsoft/reacttestapp/react/TestAppReactNativeHost.kt: (181, 24): Unresolved reference: loadLibrary and

• ✅ 0.68 (has release libjsi.so)

• ✅🟡 0.69 (has debug/release libjsi.so) (but for some reason it just shows a blank page instead of the normal one with all the info, and just the version in the bottom right corner)

• ❌ 0.69 + new arch (uses ndkBuild, libjsi.so already linked)

  • fails on yarn android with error react-native-test-app/example/android/app/build/generated/rncli/src/main/jni/Android-rncli.mk: No such file or directory and make: *** No rule to make target '/Users/lsciandra/Developer/oss/react-native-test-app/example/android/app/build/generated/rncli/src/main/jni/Android-rncli.mk'. Stop.

• ✅ 0.70 (has debug/release libjsi.so)

• ✅ 0.70 + new arch (uses cmake, libjsi.so already linked)

@kelset:

For 0.64, we need a fix that landed on trunk. I've rebased now so it should work.

For 0.69: I forgot to mention that you need RN-CLI 9.x because 8 does not yet have autolinking. I also had to remove react-native-safe-area-context because the latest version dropped support for 0.69 and below when on new arch. Otherwise, I cannot repro the white screen you're seeing.

[kelset]

yeah, with the adjustments I managed to make it work for both 0.64 and both versions of 0.69 🎉

LGTM, when you want to open for review I can ✅
