Description
When building a React Native 0.77.1 project for Android on Windows, the build fails at the autolinking step with the error: "Could not find project.android.packageName in react-native config output!" All configuration files are correct, but the autolinking system does not detect the package name or generate the required autolinking.json file, blocking the build process.
Steps to reproduce
Create a new React Native 0.77.1 project on Windows.
Ensure app.json and package.json both include the correct android.packageName and related fields.
Run npx react-native clean and cd android && .\gradlew clean.
Attempt to build the Android app with npx react-native run-android or .\gradlew assembleDebug.
Observe the build failure at the autolinking step with the error:
"Could not find project.android.packageName in react-native config output!"
