CMake error: C/C++: add_subdirectory called with incorrect number of arguments

[Adarshshanbhag5]

Description

I am getting the following build error when running yarn example android

Steps to reproduce

1. Run npx create-react-native-library@latest awesome-lib
2. Go through the wizard with the selected options
3. Run cd awesome-lib
4. Run yarn
5. enable newArc in example/android/gradle.properties (newArchEnabled=true)
6. Run yarn prepack
7. Run yarn example android

i have tried uninstall ndk,cmake then reinstall it but nothing worked!!
Although no errors when not using newArc i.e. (newArchEnabled=false)
error is related to cmake!!

Gradle log

yarn run v1.22.19
$ yarn --cwd example android
$ react-native run-android

Could you also provide the selected options?

[VIVEK-SUTHAR]

I am also facing the same issue,
I tried to bootstrap the project with the options below.
✔ What type of library do you want to develop? › Turbo module
