Live-share: [VS Code] React Native debug sessions are not shared

[ascorbic]

Product and Version [VS/VSCode]: VSCode
OS Version [macOS/Windows]: Mac OS 10.12.6
Live Share Extension Version: 0.2.260
Target Platform or Language : React Native (extension version 0.6.6)

Steps to Reproduce / Scenario:

1. Open React Native project with RN plugin installed
2. Create default debugging launch.json
3. Click "Share" in status bar and wait for sharing to start.
4. Choose "Debug Android". Wait until app launches and debug session starts.
5. Guest joins sharing session. Attempts to join debug session.

Expected behavior: guest joins debugging session.
Actual behavior: no debug session found.

We can successfully share Node and Chrome debug sessions.

@ascorbic There’s a bug in the React Native extension that breaks certain debug scenarios for the host while within a collaboration session (#83). Because of this, we made a temporary change in the latest Live Share release to disable shared debugging entirely for launch configurations that use the “reactnative” type. That way, hosts could at least debug their RN app as usual, at the expense of not being able to share it.

We’re hoping to get this fixed very soon, since it’s React Native is a key platform we’d like to support.

@lostintangent Ah, that would explain it! I saw that issue, but as local debugging does work I assumed it was a different issue. Remote debugging using RN debugger and a forwarded port works well, though you don't get the nice shared experience.

@ascorbic I’ll actually close #83 in favor of this issue, since it’s clearer about what the current behavior is. Thanks for reporting this, and stay tuned for a fix very soon.

@lostintangent Great. Thanks for building such an awesome tool.

This should be resolved in the new v0.2.487 version of the extension!

Can confirm. Works for me!
