React native on VS Emulator and Windows 10

Visual Studio Emulator

  1. Download and install emulator - https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/msft-android-emulator/

Android SDK tools

  1. Download commandline tools (see bottom of page) - https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html
  2. Unzip archive to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android SDK
  3. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android SDK\tools\bin and run .\sdkmanager.exe "platform-tools" (it will install adb required by react native)
  4. Specify SDK path:
    • Open registry editor (Win+R, enter "regedit.exe")
    • Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\
    • Add new folder (key) with name Android SDK Tools
    • Add new string value with name Path and value C:\Program Files (x86)\Android SDK

Start app

To start app launch emulator device and then run npm run android in project folder

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid arguments (3) error in the Emulator logs. Try to repair Emulator in the Uninstall or change program.
  • Expo timeout error. Try to use Windows Phone Emulator address. Run ipconfig to see ip configuration.
