Summary: Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/44092 In a setup where a device retrieves a bundle from `http://127.0.0.1:8081`, but this is tunnelled to a remote host with only an IPv6 stack (eg, FB dev servers), the host running the inspector-proxy will fail to fetch source or source maps from 127.0.0.1 despite typically being on the same host (indeed, process) as Metro. This causes a surprising inconsistency where using a bundler URL of `localhost` from the device results in source maps being inlined into `Debugger.scriptParsed`, but using a bundler URL of `127.0.0.1` causes inspector-proxy to fall back to preserving URLs, which are typically fetched lazily by CDT later. This should be unnecessary once we've implemented CDP `Network.loadNetworkResource` and removed `Debugger.scriptParsed` rewriting, but for now it brings IPv6 tunnelled servers in line with local servers. Changelog: [General][Changed] Inspector proxy: Rewrite 127.0.0.1 to localhost in source map URLs for better IPv4->IPv6 tunnelling support.

@react-native/dev-middleware
Dev server middleware supporting core React Native development features. This package is preconfigured in all React Native projects.
Usage
Middleware can be attached to a dev server (e.g. Metro) using the createDevMiddleware API.
import { createDevMiddleware } from '@react-native/dev-middleware';
function myDevServerImpl(args) {
...
const {middleware, websocketEndpoints} = createDevMiddleware({
projectRoot: metroConfig.projectRoot,
serverBaseUrl: `http://${args.host}:${args.port}`,
logger,
});
await Metro.runServer(metroConfig, {
host: args.host,
...,
unstable_extraMiddleware: [
middleware,
// Optionally extend with additional HTTP middleware
],
websocketEndpoints: {
...websocketEndpoints,
// Optionally extend with additional WebSocket endpoints
},
});
}
Included middleware
@react-native/dev-middleware is designed for integrators such as @expo/dev-server and @react-native/community-cli-plugin. It provides a common default implementation for core React Native dev server responsibilities.
We intend to keep this to a narrow set of functionality, based around:
- Debugging — The Chrome DevTools protocol (CDP) endpoints supported by React Native, including the Inspector Proxy, which facilitates connections with multiple devices.
- Dev actions — Endpoints implementing core Dev Menu actions, e.g. reloading the app, opening the debugger frontend.
HTTP endpoints
DevMiddlewareAPI.middleware
These are exposed as a connect middleware handler, assignable to Metro.runServer or other compatible HTTP servers.
GET /json/list, /json (CDP)
Returns the list of available WebSocket targets for all connected React Native app sessions.
GET /json/version (CDP)
Returns version metadata used by Chrome DevTools.
GET /debugger-frontend
Subpaths of this endpoint are reserved to serve the JavaScript debugger frontend.
POST /open-debugger
Open the JavaScript debugger for a given CDP target (direct Hermes debugging).
Example
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8081/open-debugger?appId=com.meta.RNTester'
WebSocket endpoints
DevMiddlewareAPI.websocketEndpoints
/inspector/device
WebSocket handler for registering device connections.
/inspector/debug
WebSocket handler that proxies CDP messages to/from the corresponding device.
Contributing
Changes to this package can be made locally and tested against the rn-tester app, per the Contributing guide. During development, this package is automatically run from source with no build step.
