FAQ

Do I need to keep my react packager open? Yup. App built without release mode requires react packager on the same network.

Can I have multiple react packager instance launched? Nope. Each project can only run 1 instance due to port limitations.

Can I run different projects with a single react packager instance? Nope. Packager must be in the same folder as the project you are running.

After installing app on device, app wouldn't run after disconnecting USB or network. When running on device, app isn't installed fully and requires react packager to work.

Android or iOS Build fails Check build log for errors, common issues are missing dependancies or error in coding.
