I have recently upgraded my react native to the latest version 0.62.1 and also downloaded the required react-native-debugger app (standalone app version 0.11.1 ) as specified in the react-native-debugger doc. Now when i enable remote js debugging everything works fine until i press cmd + d for ios or cmd + m for android to open in app developer menu after that debugger is disconnecting automatically and showing the error as shown in the below image.

link to react-native-debugger error image when in app developer menu is opened

As shown in the above image it says Bridge was already shutdown. Because of this i am unable to do inspect element inside react-native-debugger. I have searched in the internet regarding this specific error but unfortunately i did't find any solution.

Edit 1

I have set up a new react native project with react-native-cli and tested. It is also giving the same error. I don't know whether the problem is with new react native version 0.62 or react-devtools version 4.

This error appears to go away in react-native@0.66.0, but I experienced it on 0.64.2. The workaround I found was to open inspector without using the dev menu. Two ways:

  1. cmd + i
  2. Right-click inside react-native-debugger and select "Toggle Element Inspector"

If you do open dev menu and break connection again, simply reload to reset the state.

You might also need to confirm your app's react-devtools-core version from your node_modules or lock files match the version embedded inside react-native-debugger. I documented all this here:
