error "Could not get BatchedBridge, make sure your bundle is packaged properly" on start of app
A possible solution for this is that you most probably not bundling your application first, perform the following steps and then deploy your app-debug.apk to your device
$ cd myproject
$ react-native start > /dev/null 2>&1 &
$ curl "http://localhost:8081/index.android.bundle?platform=android" -o "android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle"
(if the folder assets
does not exists create it)
Then run from project root
$> (cd android/ && ./gradlew assembleDebug)
install the created apk to you device, from location: android/app/build/outputs/apk/app-debug.apk
let me know if that fixes your issue
EDIT:
You can simply put it to your package.json as a script to automate it, I believe it will be fixed in upcoming releases of react-native and will be executed prior assembling the final APK, hence this won't be needed (I hope as well)
put :
"scripts": {
"build": "(cd android/ && ./gradlew assembleDebug)",
"start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start",
"bundle-android": "react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.android.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --sourcemap-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.map --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res/"
},
or as mentioned the curl equivalent, but for most cases the above is more robust
I came across this issue as well. What I did was force kill the app on my device, then I opened up another console and ran
react-native start
and then I opened the app again from my device and it started working again.
EDIT: If you are using an android device via USB and have unplugged it or your computer went to sleep, you may have to first run
adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081
Just got this error. Here's what I did to fix:
I selected Dismiss
, Went into the Developer menu, then Dev Settings
,
Choose Debug server host & port for device
, I added my computers IP address and the port: 192.168.0.xx:8xxx
, use whatever your developer machines assigned IP address is on your wifi network. The port is usually :8081
Once I did this, all went well. Also, while you're in the dev menu remember to select Enable Live Reload
and Debug JS Remotely
, it makes your life much-much easier while debugging.
