See original GitHub issue

React Native Debugger version: 1.7.4 React Native version: 0.45.1 Platform: Android Is real device of platform: Genymotion emulator Operating System: Windows 10 x64

I’ve read the troubleshooting and the react-devtools-core@2.4.0 installed. Strangely enough, it was working couple days ago, when I did not need it. Now I could use it and it’s a fail 😃

I tried to Reload debugger window, let it connect and then reload the app in the emulator. After a while, I see in the console error failed to connect coming directly from react-devtools-core. I also tried restarting whole system, did not help.

It is working correctly when using real Android device.

For people still having this problem what worked for me was:

Starting the simulator.
Closing the automatically opened Developer tools.
Opening the react-native-debugger. ----- At this point it usually doesn’t work for me (Connecting to React issue…) -----
In the Debugger: Debugger > New Window
Fill in your port (19001)

You are good to go! That worked for me!

Interesting. I actually tried setting a date with adb as a first attempt, but that did not seem to have any effect. Then I tried the reverse, but I also restarted the simulator, so it possible that setting date actually solved it, but needed a restart. 🤷‍♂️
