Stuck on info starting JS server

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

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

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/[email protected]

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

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.
