Unable to connect with remote debugger


In my case the issue was that the emulator was making a request to:

http://10.0.2.2:8081/debugger-ui

instead of:

http://localhost:8081/debugger-ui and the request was failing.

To solve the issue: Before enabling remote debugging on your emulator, open http://localhost:8081/debugger-ui in chrome. Then enable remote debugging and go back to the chrome page where you should see your console logs.


Solved the issue following:

  • Press Cmd + M on emulator screen
  • Go to Dev settings > Debug server host & port for device
  • Set localhost:8081
  • Rerun the android app: react-native run-android

Debugger is connected now!


I solved it doing adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081 and then reload on my phone.
