React Native using pre-bundled file on device, even if DEV-mode

Question

A few days ago, when I build and run my react native app from Xcode on a device, I realised that even if I set my scheme to Debug, the app is still loading from a pre-bundle

Answer 1

In react native 0.40.0, React native try to guess bundle location by itself. Please see if following points can help:

• Make sure your AppDelegate.m have this line:jsCodeLocation = [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index.ios" fallbackResource:nil];

• Check your device and your Xcode mac is running on same wifi. Internally for IOS, react native try to guess ip by itself.

• Try running app first through command line, so dev packager server is running and then run app through xcode in your device.
