create-react-native-app: React-devtools not working
Hi everyone,
I usually use react-devtools to help me navigate my react project and inspect what is going on in my project. It’s a really helpful piece to debug.
Is there a way to have it working on the boilerplate without much efforts? And are you planning to implement it out of the box?

This actually worked just fine for me on my Android device without making any changes. I don’t have an iOS device handy but did a quick search through the react-native source and noticed that
PlatformConstants.ServerHostisn’t defined on iOS, so it will always use'localhost'instead, which is why it only works in the simulator it seems. I think by just addingPlatformConstants.ServerHostto iOS this would work in most cases.My solution: comment
@florianpnn @epitaphmike the new version of the CRNA template I released today includes RN 0.43, so this should all work. Let me know if you get a chance to try it, it’d be great to document in the user guide!
@epitaphmike I’m not sure exactly what you mean – those updates only went stable recently (less than 2 weeks ago, IIRC?), and I intend to release a new CRNA version in the next couple of days that includes them.
I just created a fresh project and followed the instructions here: https://github.com/facebook/react-devtools/blob/master/packages/react-devtools/README.md
yarn add --dev react-devtools"devtools": "react-devtools"to my package.json’s scripts sectionyarn run ios, followed byyarn run devtoolsin a separate tab once the app had openedAnd it seems to be mostly working:
Can you provide more details about what you tried and what didn’t work? It may be a good idea to refer to the issue template for information that normally helps in debugging these issues.
If we can settle on a good set of steps to follow for getting this working, then I’d be very happy to add this to the user guide.
