react-nativeexpo

Why is my expo serve using http://localhost:8081 instead of exp+fomo-app://expo-development-client/?


My expo app keeps starting on localhost:8081 I've tried changing the port to 8000 and 19000 via npx expo start --port but no luck, I also tried tunnel and still my dev-client kept saying "Could not load app: Could not connect to the server." Not exactly sure why?


Solution

  • I discovered this issue when I removed

    <data android:scheme="exp+[My app]"/>
    

    from my AndroidManifest.xml file, adding it back solved the issue.
