tvOS support / opt-out of iOS autolinking on TV builds

[slvvn]

Summary

We use @lodev09/react-native-true-sheet in an Expo app that ships to iOS and tvOS via react-native-tvos.

Although bottom sheet is not relevant on tvOS, for those builds (EXPO_TV=1) the library's iOS native module is still autolinked.

Environment

• @lodev09/react-native-true-sheet: ^3.11.1
• react-native: react-native-tvos@0.86

Problem

Trying to exclude it in react-native.config.js like this doesn't work here, because for tvOS, Expo/RN autolinking runs with --platform ios, and I don't want to exclude it for iOS:

dependencies: {
  '@lodev09/react-native-true-sheet': {
    platforms: {
      ios: null
    },
  },
},

Request

Would you consider a proper way to let tvOS just be ignored from autolinking, or some other way to avoid issues on tvOS?

@slvvn just want to confirm, you're issue is only autolinking files and not functionally, correct? If this builds on tvos, can you just create a wrapper on your end to stub truesheet on tvOS?

[slvvn]

@lodev09 yes!

[lodev09]

I see. truesheet files are tiny, just stub on your end for now. Thanks!

[slvvn]

@lodev09 Ah I misread your earlier comment.

On tvOS it crashes on launch after Metro bundled:

NSInvalidArgumentException: attempt to insert nil object from objects[34]
  → RCTThirdPartyComponentsProvider thirdPartyFabricComponents

objects[34] is TrueSheetView. Codegen registers True Sheet Fabric views, but RNTrueSheet isn’t in the tvOS build (podspec is iOS-only), so NSClassFromString(@"TrueSheetView") is nil and it errors.

A JS stub doesn’t help, this happens in native Fabric init before React mounts.

@slvvn provide a repro project that targets tvos so I can take a look. reopening
