NativeModules is {}

Description

NativeModules is {}

I've created a new React Native app with configuration for sharing Intents. My app icon shows up in the app share tray, and when the user taps the app icon in the app share tray - the emulator brings my app to the top as expected. Unfortunately, NativeModules is always an empty object ({}) in my RN component so I'm not able to access my custom module:

• I've validated my current implementation with all of the AI chatbots
• I've researched and posted to StackOverflow and Reddit
• I've tried all of the different approaches that were mentioned in previous GitHub Issues threads

So I'm submitting this issue. Maybe I'm just missing something - which is quite possible since this is the first native module that I've implemented in RN. I've created the following repo as a very simple example to isolate the problem at hand:

https://github.com/design-and-deliver/nativemodulesdebug

It should be fully runnable with all of the required files and configurations. I'm really curious what the problem might be here.

Steps to reproduce

1. npm install
2. npx react-native run-android
3. app will load and Home component will render
4. check metro logs to see that NativeModules is {}

@design-and-deliver you will not be able to enumerate native modules by console.log also You need to register your native module package to access from js side
