You'll see that after removing the phone, the line which has the phone model ("Motorola PCS" in this case) disappeared from the list. This is the line that we care about.

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 22b8:2e76 Motorola PCS

From the above line, you want to grab the first four digits from the device ID:

22b8:2e76

In this case, it's 22b8. That's the identifier for Motorola.

You'll need to input this into your udev rules in order to get up and running:

echo SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="22b8", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev" | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android-usb.rules

Make sure that you replace 22b8 with the identifier you get in the above command.

Now check that your device is properly connecting to ADB, the Android Debug Bridge, by using adb devices.

Accessing development server from device #

You can also iterate quickly on device using the development server. Follow one of the steps described below to make your development server running on your laptop accessible for your device.

Hint

Most modern android devices don't have a hardware menu button, which we use to trigger the developer menu. In that case you can shake the device to open the dev menu (to reload, debug, etc.). Alternatively, you can run the command adb shell input keyevent 82 to open the dev menu (82 being the Menu key code).

Using adb reverse #

Note that this option is available on devices running android 5.0+ (API 21).

Have your device connected via USB with debugging enabled (see paragraph above on how to enable USB debugging on your device).

  1. Run adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081
  2. You can use Reload JS and other development options with no extra configuration

Configure your app to connect to the local dev server via Wi-Fi #

  1. Make sure your laptop and your phone are on the same Wi-Fi network.
  2. Open your React Native app on your device. You can do this the same way you'd open any other app.
  3. You'll see a red screen with an error. This is OK. The following steps will fix that.
  4. Open the Developer menu by shaking the device or running adb shell input keyevent 82 from the command line.
  5. Go to Dev Settings.
  6. Go to Debug server host for device.
  7. Type in your machine's IP address and the port of the local dev server (e.g. 10.0.1.1:8081). On Mac, you can find the IP address in System Preferences / Network. On Windows, open the command prompt and type ipconfig to find your machine's IP address (more info).
  8. Go back to the Developer menu and select Reload JS.
