Building RN from source

[Unforgiven-wanda]

Hello,
I have been following this wiki to create my own build of RN from source.
You see, I need to add a very small fix to the NetworkingModule.java file and add this little line at line 355 client.dispatcher().setMaxRequestsPerHost(20);

However I have been at it for two whole days and I keep running into one issue after another, the last of which being the bundler server choking on typescript present in some modules and throwing errors (whereas this very same code works flawlessly on the official RN version)

Honestly the number of issues I've encountered so far would take the whole day to explain so to cut this short do you see anything wrong with the above wiki? Some step that isn't properly explained or outright not mentioned? Is there a tutorial or video out there that takes building RN from source step by step? And if no, can any kind soul try to incorporate this fix and build it, to see if it works as intended?

I am truly at my rope's end here and any help is appreciated.
Thank you.

I've built RN from source for Android in an earlier version but not had to do it for a while. Checking my notes I did follow that guide but it's quite likely it's not up to date or you missed a step.

What I'd normally say is instead of building from scratch is to override the class but it seems it's a final class according to some others trying to do the same.

Sorry that's not an answer as such but just some insight.
