For debugging we use HTTP server that uses react-native-http-bridge.
I've updated the version of it, and it now (since 0.5.0) also supports GET, POST, PUT and DELETE requests and can finally return responses with different status codes.
Just because the server is very easy, there is almost no need in libraries like status-dev-cli
now — clients can easily use any available library for client-server communication, send requests and get anything in response.
We decided to not work on network discovery at the current stage. All the discovery proposals are available here.
All the request examples below are given for HTTPie.
