Answer 1

Thank you rmevans9 and Anonsage for your answers!

I am using HTC One on Ubuntu and there is no menu option, anyway this is the summary of the answers that worked for me:

1. Create the project $ react-native init MyProject $ cd MyProject/

2. In first console tab run and leave it running as you develop (react-native start alternative): $ npm start

3. In second console tab compile and install the project (connect the device to the USB if you want): $ react-native run-android

4. Fix ReferenceError: Can't find variable: __fbBatchedBridge:

   • Find you local ip address by executing ifconfig on Linux/Mac, for example: inet addr:192.168.0.3
   • Shake the device to see menu options while app is running (if you don't have "Menu" button)
   • Go to Dev Settings -> Debug server host & port for device in Debugging section and copy your local ip address with the specific port: 192.168.0.3:8081 (the port can be viewed when running npm start from the first tab) then go/press Back
   • Shake the device to see menu options again and press Enable Live Reload (to see changes live when editing)
   • Shake the device to see menu options again and press Reload JS
