[0.54.4] Metro Bundler can't listen on port undefined

• I have reviewed the documentation
• I have searched existing issues
• I am using the latest React Native version

Hi, I’m running the latest version of React Native and all goes well, except running from CLI to your device. Whenever I run react-native run-ios --device it fails with Metro Bundler can't listen on port undefined.

The issue has been fixed in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/17983 however, but is scheduled for 0.55. Which makes the current latest version just unusable and broken. Backport needed asap.

Environment

Environment:
  OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.3
  Node: 9.8.0
  Yarn: 1.3.2
  npm: 5.7.1
  Watchman: 4.9.0
  Xcode: Xcode 9.2 Build version 9C40b
  Android Studio: Not Found

Packages: (wanted => installed)
  react: ^16.3.0 => 16.3.0
  react-native: ^0.54.4 => 0.54.4

Steps to Reproduce

Run react-native run-ios --device in any React Native project using the latest 0.54.4 release.

Expected Behavior

Start the metro bundler correctly and continue compiling the application.

Actual Behavior

Metro bundler fails because the port is undefined.

As this is already fixed in master, closing as Fixed.

0.55 should be getting released any moment. You may also discuss cherry-pick requests over at https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-releases.
