Why does React Native 0.30 not get changes from development server on iPhone device?

react-native

Solution

You have set `jsCodeLocation` to use the bundle. Change that line to

jsCodeLocation = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://DEV_SERVER_URI:8081/index.ios.bundle?platform=ios&dev=true"];

e.g.

jsCodeLocation = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://192.168.0.7:8081/index.ios.bundle?platform=ios&dev=true"];

You can get your machine's public IP by running `ifconfig` in a terminal. The IP address is listed under `en0:`, succeeding `inet`.

Problem

Ever since I upgraded to React Native 0.30, the builds on my physical iPhone load from a pre-bundled file rather than the development server. The only way to see changes is to build and run the app again. Previously, I could see changes instantly on my iPhone by doing a refresh. If I use a simulator, changes load from the development server just fine. Here is my AppDelegate.m: ``` #import "AppDelegate.h" #import "RCTBundleURLProvider.h" #import "RCTRootView.h" @implementation AppDelegate - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { NSURL *jsCodeLocation; jsCodeLocation = [[RCTBundleURLProvider sharedSettings] jsBundleURLForBundleRoot:@"index.ios" fallbackResource:nil]; RCTRootView *rootView = [[RCTRootView alloc] initWithBundleURL:jsCodeLocation moduleName:@"upool" initialProperties:nil launchOptions:launchOptions]; rootView.backgroundColor = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:1.0f green:1.0f blue:1.0f alpha:1]; self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds]; UIViewController *rootViewController = [UIViewController new]; rootViewController.view = rootView; self.window.rootViewController = rootViewController; [self.window makeKeyAndVisible]; return YES; } @end ```
