Stuck On Info Starting Js Server

I have initiated successfully a new react-native project. Then, every time I try to run my newly built project using the command react-native run-android, it gets stucks on info St

Solution 1:

Kill the automatically popped up metro bundler command prompt

Kill the command terminal which is running react-native run-android

Now Run react-native start This will start your js server

In new command prompt window run react-native run-android The app came up in 5 mins in an emulator.

Solution 2:

Linux: Go to the terminal and type: react-native start

and then in OTHER terminal, inside your project folder: yarn android or npm run android

Solution 3:

Temporary fix:

REACT_TERMINAL= react-native run-android

in my case with manjaro + xfce4:

REACT_TERMINAL=xfce4-terminal react-native run-android

or puts in your .bashrc:

export REACT_TERMINAL=xfce4-terminal

Solution 4:

I had the same problem. I started a project yesterday and it worked, started a new one today and it didn't work. The problem seems to be "@react-native-community/cli-platform-android". The version that showed up today is 2.8.2 as opposed to 2.7.0 for yesterday's project.

I used: npm install @react-native-community/cli-platform-android@2.7.0

This is not a optimal solution, but it will get you going.

Solution 5:

I had the exact same frustrating issue for a very different reason than mentioned in other answers.

As explained in this SO answer Android adb binds to port 5037 and I installed some program which took this port so adb was hanging silently (why adb! .. say something!)

Commands to test if this your issue cause:

test any adb command and see if it hangs, eg:

adb devices

If it does, then check who is using the port:

sudo lsof -i :5037
