React Native App Development on Physical Android device on Windows.

React Native App Development on Physical Android device on Windows.


So let’s begin…

Step – 1: Enable Developer options on your physical android device. If you have already enabled Developer options then you can simply skip this step.

Go to Settings ---> About phone/device ---> Tap Build number option Seven times or more.
Go back to Settings and Connect your android device with your PC using USB cable.


Step – 2: Enable USB debugging option on your physical android device.

Note - connect the USB thereafter enables the USB debugging,
otherwise  need to reboot

Step – 3: Visit platform-tools folder under your Android SDK installation path folder and type cmd in address bar to open command prompt with required path.

Note: Android SDK installation path may vary.

In my case:

Step – 4:  Type following command in command prompt to check that your physical android device is properly connected to ADB.

adb devices

In my cases

If your device is properly connected to ADB then you will get following output:

Step – 5:  Apply following command in command prompt to use development server functionalities on your physical android device.

adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081

Now your physical android device is ready to do react native app development, If the above command executes successfully.

Step – 6:  Now, Go back to your react native project directory and apply react-native run-android  command in command prompt. 

If no issue occurred then you will get the following output (in my case) in your physical android device.

Note: I have created a very simple app which simply renders a Text component at the center of the screen for demonstration propose.

You can now run your app without cable

Open your app & shake your phone > Dev Settings > Debug Server host & port for device > type your wifi's ip address + the metro bundler port 

(E.g 192.168.1.1:8081)
