0.72 Regression in Direct Debugging on Android

[lunaleaps]

Description

When bootstrapping a new 0.72.x app, I am unable to debug the app following the direct debugging instructions.

React Native Version

0.72

Output of npx react-native info

N/A

Steps to reproduce

• npx react-native init MyApp
• Add debugger; statement to App.tsx
• Have metro running via yarn start in my project
• Follow instructions for direct debugging via chrome://inspect, open devtools
• Reload the app, the debugger does not stop at the breakpoint

[lunaleaps]

What version are you guys in? The fix was picked into 0.72.2, we just released 0.72.3. Have you tried those versions?

[emanuelasistensi]

0.72.1, 0.72.2 and 0.72.3

[emanuelasistensi]

That appears to me right after you enabled the debugger.
