ReferenceError: Can't find variable: __fbBatchedBridge

Question

Using just the default code from react-native init AwesomeProject, when I run the app I get the \'ReferenceError: Can\'t find variable: __fbBatchedBridge (line 1 in

Answer 1

I had the same issue while using Visual Studio Android Emulator. When the red screen shows up type in the command line

adb shell input keyevent 82

This will trigger the shake event and launch the dev menu

Then hit Dev Settings > Debug server host & port for device and enter :8081. If for some reason you cannot type in the field you can trigger the text action in the command line by using

adb shell input text :8081
