React-native-debugger: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token a in JSON at position 0

I've tried to clear the storage https://github.com/jhen0409/react-native-debugger/issues/267#issuecomment-426150024, but this doesn't fix the issue, I'm still getting an endless cycle of errors.
I've also tried to rebuild the app, nothing changed.

React Native Debugger version: v0.8.0
React Native version: v0.37.0 (can't be updated)
Is real device of platform: Xcode Simulator (iPad Pro)
Operating System: macOS
Xcode: v9.3 (9E145)

This may occur because of the outdated version of React Native.
We may need an option to ignore an upcoming Debugger update. Even if I install an older version, it updates itself on next reboot.

Yes, we've no longer supported RN 0.37 on react-devtools. :(

See the documentation.

It looks like a bug, it should have prompt for update, shouldn't be forced. I'll consider to release a patch version for v0.7.

It prompts the update and updates itself on reboot when I press Later. There's no "Ignore" option.

@jhen0409 We're also facing the same issue. The autoUpdate field in config file doesn't seem to work with v0.7.20.

React Native Debugger version: v0.7.20
React Native version: v0.42.0

[jhen0409]

@sachinB94 yep, it's new feature in 0.8.0.

@jhen0409 We need some kind of a workaround asap. RND updates automatically every time you reboot your machine. Maybe there is a hacky way out of this situation? Please point us to the right direction.

@jhen0409 How about releasing another update for 0.7.x with the support for config file (just the autoUpdate field) ?

Or, if it's too much, could you point to the code, where update is being checked, so that we can change the source and build it ourselves ?

[jhen0409]

272 will fix the update issue.

In the docs of contributing.

[jhen0409]

Please try v0.7.21.

@jhen0409 how to downgrade version to 0.7.21?

[sachinB94]

@jhen0409 Great. It works fine.

I get this with RN 0.57.1 and latest (0.9.7) when I receive an html response with a 502 - really annoying to debug my issues
