Error

facebook::react::Recoverable: Could not open file ReactNativeDevBundle.js: No such file or directory

Environment

• react-native-code-push version: 5.3.2
• react-native version: 0.55.3
• iOS/Android/Windows version: Android 7 and 8
• Does this reproduce on a debug build or release build? Android debug only
• Does this reproduce on a simulator, or only on a physical device? Both

Why do debug builds even use code-push? I thought debug builds bypass code-push? Only release builds should use code-push, right?

Hi @ujwal-setlur,

Thanks for reporting!
I reproduced your issue. I'll investigate it a little bit later.

Thanks,
Alexander

About debug builds with code-push: I'm afraid it is No, debug builds use code-push functionality. But if you will try to update app throw codePush with enabling liveReload server You would just get app version which you use on liveReload server. It may seems that update isn't working.

From documentation(Here: https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-code-push#releasing-updates):

NOTE: CodePush updates should be tested in modes other than Debug mode. In Debug mode, React Native app always downloads JS bundle generated by packager, so JS bundle downloaded by CodePush does not apply.

Thanks,
Alexander

Hi all,
Sorry for long delay.

Found that the issue is reproducing only in Live Reload mode.
As hot workaround you can just comment your CodePush calling during developing your app. But don't forget to uncomment it when you will release your updates.
If you would like to test CodePush logic(that your updates successful will be installed to your user devices) you should use only Release build.
Investigation of the reason of issue in progress.

Thanks,
Alexander
