I'm new to RN and I've been trying to run this react-native app for days now. After following up the guides provided by the official website, I came to the point where the app creates and builds without any errors.
However, when I try to reload to view my app's code changes, it gives me this error: Could not connect to the development server.
I did lots of research related to this error and I checked all the solutions suggestions that are provided in the error.
I use Windows OS. The emulator is android one provided by Genymotion
React-native version:
react-native-cli: 2.0.1react-native: 0.61.5
Some of the things I've tried:
- Checked if the server is on (it is)
- Giving my machine's
IP adress and & port numberto the debug server host & port for device in the Genymotion emulator - I ran this command to bundle index.android.bundle:
react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081- Tried to use emulators provided by Android studio - same result
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" to AndroidManifest.xml
I should probably mention that I installed this package due to a building error : @react-native-community/cli

Metro Bundler. -> This is everything that it shows, I think that it should show more stats about bundling a JS file, in my case App.js
