Description

This is a POC project showcasing the ClassNotFoundException when using a custom AppComponentFactory in a Bazel project and building with mobile-install

To run the project you need to update/comment-out the android_sdk_repository(path = '..') from the WORKSPACE file.

Steps to reproduce

1. Build the app with: bazel mobile-install //src/main:app
2. Open the app
3. Check the error logs

Logs:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.example.bazel.MainAppComponentFactory" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/~~4OHgelH7C25AIUt3-0fsWA==/com.example.bazel-Hwab-Fhy4ZtyrRAQZxq4vA==/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/~~4OHgelH7C25AIUt3-0fsWA==/com.example.bazel-Hwab-Fhy4ZtyrRAQZxq4vA==/lib/arm64, /system/lib64, /system/system_ext/lib64]]
