Is it possible to call a native method or package function directly without involving the UI?

Description

sample code

import { PassioSDK } from '@passiolife/nutritionai-react-native-sdk-v3'
import { device } from 'detox'

describe('Example', () => {
  beforeAll(async () => {
    jest.setTimeout(300000) // Set timeout to 5 minutes for long-running tests
    await device.launchApp({
      permissions: {
        location: 'inuse',
        camera: 'YES',
        notifications: 'YES',
      },
    })
  })

  beforeEach(async () => {
    await device.reloadReactNative()
  })

  it('should tap on button by id and expect some text to be visible', async () => {
    const result = await PassioSDK.searchForFood('apple')
    expect(result).toBe('Hello from Native!') // Check if the returned value is correct
  }, 300000)
})

Someone has to implement this one for the new React Native architecture: #4208

Unfortunately, a couple of people tried and did not succeed for various reasons, so it's still in the embarrassing limbo state. 😕
