Stuck on black screen when activating debug in React-Native


I have a problem with my RN app in my android device (have not tested on iOS yet), as soon as I activate debug on the device, it gets stuck on a black screen.

I dont know what part of the code or what setting is causing this, and this is the reason I am not showing any coding here. Just trying to check if you guys have had the same problem before.

Here is what I have tried:

 gradlew clean 
 react-native start --reset-cache
 cleaned app data and cache in the device
 uninstalled the app from the device

Here are the packages I have installed and using so far on my app:

    "lint": "eslint ."
  },

  },
  "devDependencies": {

    "react-test-renderer": "17.0.1"
  },
  "jest": {
    "preset": "react-native"
  }
}

I would try to npm uninstall all packages and reinstall latest of all but there are specific versions of some libraries that I am using so I cant updated everything to the latest versions.


Solution

  • I have found a workaround. I force downgraded react-native-reanimated package to 2.2.4 and now the debugger works just fine.

    npm i react-native-reanimated@2.2.4 --force
    

    if you dont use --force command, it might fail downgrading.
