I 'm cross posting here, as it seems a bug originated on the CLI and not RN 0.59.0
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/23873
I can confirm that's a bug, please close the corresponding issue in RN repo
Fixed in 1.4.1. Thanks for reporting this quickly!
How do you get this to kick in? I can only get projects _created_ with the right version to catch the debugger correctly. I've installed/uninstalled react-native-cli removed node_modules, restarted the computer, how do you get 1.4.1 to kick in correctly?
Remove and add react-native with the same version. react-native-cli is a global cli (a proxy to the real one, it hasn't been touched for 2 yrs). We know it's confusing and working towards fixing it
