I’m seeing this on an emulator with Expo 37. If I use expo start and then Run on an android device/emulator none of the normal actions (CTRL+M nor ./adb shell input keyevent 82) will get the Dev menu to open. If I switch out of the app, open the installed Expo app, and then switch back to my app it starts working.

The emulator I’m using is a Pixel 2 running Android Pie/API 28. I start it with -wipe-data every time for a completely clean emulator, so nothing residual is causing this.

I have the same problem, it happens when the project is run without having opened the expo app and it doesn’t happen in new projects. There are other issues related to the status bar and keyboard moving screens up, any intention of releasing these fixes before version 38?
