I have also worked out a hacky temporary solution for the fix. I have found several problems with the linux implementation and I will lay them out here. I have debugged the issue extensively since none of the related issue provided any solution for my case. #28281 Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository: When running react-native run-android and there is an issue with the JS bundler the primary process should display errors why the JS bundler failed starting.When running react-native run-android the bundler should be started if it's not started already in a separate terminal window.System: ubuntu 18.04 // this does not matter as well Steps To ReproduceĪny project with those versions on linux should fail starting the JS server when running react-native run-android.
