I'm running a react native app and constantly running into the issue of the app not connecting to the code to do automatic updates.
Things I've tried:
- Reloading main.jsbundle via the following command:
npx react-native bundle --entry-file index.js --platform ios --dev false --bundle-output ios/main.jsbundle --assets-dest ios/assets - Completely removing node and react native from my computer
- Restarting my computer
- Running on a physical device and running on the simulator
- Cleaning derived data in Xcode
This is the screen on starting up, which offers the advice, "Connect to Metro to develop JavaScript."
From the metro bundler that automatically starts up, I get this message when I type 'r' to reload that says, "React Native: No apps connected."
I'm using 0.61 and always have been.
What else should I try?
EDIT
I was able to get it working by restarting my computer (again).
Every once in a while, a restart does the trick, yet most of the time it doesn't work. There still has to be a more reliable way of fixing this.
