I am using React-Native 0.46.4 on Mac OS for Android development. I have made changes to the index.android.js but the changes are not being reflected when I load it on the device. The packager is running on port 8080 since port 8081 is taken. I have looked at the other issues such as uninstalling watchman and restarting the packager, but none seem to be working.
Any help is appreciated!
Turns out that react native wasn't able to launch the packager since port 8081 was already taken by McAfee. The work around was to build a release apk every time I wanted to deploy to my device.
