Summary:
In https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/25427, radex added initial support for running React Native projects on macOS via Catalyst. However, `RCTWebSocket` was disabled for that target because of some compilation issues. This meant that running projects via a connection to the packager wasn't possible: no live reload, and projects must be run in "Release" mode. It also meant making manual changes to Xcode projects deploying to macOS and scattering a number of conditional checks throughout the codebase.
In this change, I've implemented support for `RCTWebSocket` on the macOS target and re-enabled the affected features. Live reload and the inspector now work for macOS targets. Manual modifications of Xcode build settings are no longer necessary for react-native projects running on macOS.
### Limitations
There's no binding which displays the developer menu (since there's no shake event on macOS). We'll probably want to add one, perhaps to the menu bar.
I've chosen not to commit the modifications to RNTester which enable macOS support, since that would imply more "official" support for this target than I suspect you all would like to convey. I'm happy to add those chunks if it would be helpful.
## Changelog
[iOS] [Added] - Added web socket support for macOS (Catalyst), enabling debug builds and live reload
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/27469
Test Plan:
* Open RNTester/RNTester.xcodeproj with Xcode 11.2.1, run it like a normal iOS app -- make sure it compiles and runs correctly (no regression)
* Select "My Mac" as device target, and run. You may need to configure a valid development team to make signing work.
* RNTester should run fine with no additional configuration. Modify a file in RNTester, note that live reload is now working.
* Test the developer inspector. To display the developer menu, you'll need to manually show it; here's an example diff which does that:
```
