Why is Live Reload, Hot Reload, and Remote Debugger all unavailable? I've tried

  1. Reloading JS Bundle
  2. Restarting the simulator
  3. Restarting packager
  4. Restarting packager and clearing cache
  5. Resetting the simulator
  6. Restarting the computer

Prior to this, everything was working fine. I'm relatively new to the React Native development environment. Is there a place to look (a command or a log file or something) that may have more information figure out what the issue is?

For reference, my app was created using the create-react-native-app command.

I solved my own problem. For some reason the .expo/settings.json had dev: true even though this wasn't reflecting anywhere in the UI. Diffing file trees of the current project with older versions solved my problem.

    I don't really understand what you did. Can you please elaborate showing exactly what commands you ran? I've had this issue for a couple of weeks and I've never been more frustrated. – Brandon Willis Sep 03 '18 at 19:02

In order to solve this issue, go to .expo/settings.json and change dev to true:

You don't need to change .expo/settings.json manually.

In the Expo DevTools window, which is normally running at http://localhost:19002, just toggle production mode off.enter image description here
