<p><a href="https://hermesengine.dev">Hermes</a> is an open-source JavaScript engine optimized for running React Native apps on Android. For many apps, enabling Hermes will result in improved start-up time, decreased memory usage, and smaller app size. At this time Hermes is an <strong>opt-in</strong> React Native feature, and this guide explains how to enable it.</p>
<p>First, ensure you're using at least version 0.60.4 of React Native.</p>
<p>If you have an existing app based on an earlier version of React Native, you will have to upgrade it first. See <a href="/docs/upgrading">Upgrading to new React Native Versions</a> for how to do this. Make especially sure that all changes to <code>android/app/build.gradle</code> have been applied, as detailed by the <a href="https://react-native-community.github.io/upgrade-helper/?from=0.59.0">React Native upgrade helper</a>. After upgrading the app, make sure everything works before trying to switch to Hermes.</p>

<p>Hermes requires <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145">Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Edit your <code>android/app/build.gradle</code> file and make the change illustrated below:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-diff"> project.ext.react = [
entryFile: "index.js",
<span class="hljs-deletion">- enableHermes: false // clean and rebuild if changing</span>
<span class="hljs-addition">+ enableHermes: true // clean and rebuild if changing</span>
]
</code></pre>
<p>Also, if you're using ProGuard, you will need to add these rules in <code>proguard-rules.pro</code> :</p>
<pre><code class="hljs">-<span class="ruby">keep <span class="hljs-class"><span class="hljs-keyword">class</span> <span class="hljs-title">com</span>.<span class="hljs-title">facebook</span>.<span class="hljs-title">hermes</span>.<span class="hljs-title">unicode</span>.** { *;</span> }

</span></code></pre>
<p>Next, if you've already built your app at least once, clean the build:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-sh">$ <span class="token builtin class-name">cd</span> android <span class="token operator">&amp;&amp;</span> ./gradlew clean
</code></pre>
<p>That's it! You should now be able to develop and deploy your app as normal:</p>

<p>If you've recently created a new app from scratch, you should see if Hermes is enabled in the welcome view:</p>
<p><img src="/docs/assets/HermesApp.jpg" alt="Where to find JS engine status in AwesomeProject"></p>
<p>A <code>HermesInternal</code> global variable will be available in JavaScript that can be used to verify that Hermes is in use:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-jsx"><span class="token keyword">const</span> <span class="token function-variable function">isHermes</span> <span class="token operator">=</span> <span class="token punctuation">(</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span> <span class="token operator">=></span> global<span class="token punctuation">.</span>HermesInternal <span class="token operator">!==</span> <span class="token keyword">null</span><span class="token punctuation">;</span>
</code></pre>
<p>To see the benefits of Hermes, try making a release build/deployment of your app to compare. For example:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css language-sh">$ npx react-native run-android --variant release
</code></pre>
<p>This will compile JavaScript to bytecode during build time which will improve your app's startup speed on device.</p>

<p>Hermes supports the Chrome debugger by implementing the Chrome inspector protocol. This means Chrome's tools can be used to directly debug JavaScript running on Hermes, on an emulator or device.</p>
<p>Chrome connects to Hermes running on device via Metro, so you'll need to know where Metro is listening. Typically this will be on <code>localhost:8081</code>, but this is <a href="https://facebook.github.io/metro/docs/en/configuration">configurable</a>. When running <code>yarn start</code> the address is written to stdout on startup.</p>
<p>Once you know where the Metro server is listening, you can connect with Chrome using the following steps:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Navigate to <code>chrome://inspect</code> in a Chrome browser instance.</p></li>
<li><p>Use the <code>Configure...</code> button to add the Metro server address (typically <code>localhost:8081</code> as described above).</p></li>
</ol>

<ol start="3">
<li><p>You should now see a &quot;Hermes React Native&quot; target with an &quot;inspect&quot; link which can be used to bring up debugger. If you don't see the &quot;inspect&quot; link, make sure the Metro server is running. <img src="/docs/assets/HermesDebugChromeInspect.png" alt="Target inspect link"></p></li>
<li><p>You can now use the Chrome debug tools. For example, to breakpoint the next time some JavaScript is run, click on the pause button and trigger an action in your app which would cause JavaScript to execute. <img src="/docs/assets/HermesDebugChromePause.png" alt="Pause button in debug tools"></p></li>
