Reactotron: How to make Genymotion react native connect Reactotron?

[VansonLeung]

I used Google Nexus 5 - 4.4.0 emulator Genymotion.

Running this:

import Reactotron from 'reactotron'
Reactotron.connect()

Won't connect.
Is there any criteria I missed?

Try this:

[Android 4.x] Use 10.0.3.2 instead of localhost on Genymotion:

import Reactotron from 'reactotron'
Reactotron.connect({
  server: '10.0.3.2',  // for Genymotion
  port: 3334,
  enabled: true
})

[Android 5.0+] just run command:

$ adb reverse tcp:3334 tcp:3334

Ya, on Android 4.x, it doesn't know how to reach back to your computer. Like @jhen0409 said, you'll have to enter your IP address just like you did for your packager. Thanks @jhen0409.

Is that IP always 10.0.3.2 for Genymotion?

Yes, it's different from the Android SDK emulator (10.0.2.2), and these are forward to localhost of host machine.

Hmm... I wonder if there's a way to detect the runtime environment then in Android? Maybe auto set this up?

The part of the brain that's responsible for logic & self-preservation is yelling: NO! BAD IDEA! DON'T DO IT!

I'm going to dig a bit.
