unable to load script from assets in

Answer 1

Ubuntu

first time, I created new app with react-native init project-name. I got the same error. so i do the following steps to resolve this in my case.

1. Firstly run sudo chown user-name-of-pc /dev/kvm in my case.

2. While debugging from your Android phone, select Use USB to Transfer photos (PTP).

3. Create Folder assets in project-name/android/app/src/main

4. make sure index.js be avaiable into your project root directory and then run below command from console after cd project-name directory.

react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res

or for index.android.js then

react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.android.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res

5. run command ./studio.sh in android-studio/bin directory. It will opens up Android Studio.

6. run command react-native run-android.
