Android app crashes when new package is installed in nodejs-project/package.json

[olivier-nerot]

I When I install a new package, the application crashes when it starts (the window is shown with its UI, and then closes, even if I can still see it in the android 'opened apps' view, to select and open it again (before crashing again and again).
The adb logcat gives an 'unknown subreason' :

02-24 18:15:33.246  2398  2841 I AppEyeTopApp: handleAppExitInfo, isIgnoreUserAction uid:10509 fg2die:8968 keyback2die:222126254 actionup2die:128 appExitInfo=ApplicationExitInfo(timestamp=24/02/2025 18:15 pid=27428 realUid=10509 packageUid=10509 definingUid=10509 user=0 process=com.myseekret reason=1 (EXIT_SELF) subreason=0 (UNKNOWN) status=1 importance=100 pss=0,00 rss=0,00 description=null state=empty trace=null

To reproduce it (mac Os 12, node 22.13.0, tried also with 18):

npx @react-native-community/cli init
cd myApp
npm install nodejs-mobile-react-native --save
cd nodejs-assets/nodejs-project
npm i helia --save
npm run android

it crashes if there is a node_modules directory in nodejs-assets/nodejs-project. When it is removed, it works... but it crashes the same way as soon I require the library in `main.js`` (obviously if lib is not installed...)

rn_bridge.channel.on('startHelia', () => {
  const { createHelia } = require('helia');
} );

I don't know if it comes from helia packages. I've tried with fireproof with the same effect.

Did I missed anything in the setup ?
