Install and debug react-native init app without USB!!!!!

gistfile1.txt

1) Connect your mobile device via usb (just this once)

2) Establish a port with your mobile device using 'adb tcpip <port number>'.
eg. adb tcpip 5555

3) Remove USB and 'adb connect <mobile device ip><above mentioned port number>' .
Eg . adb connect 192.160.0.124:5555

4) 'React-native run-android'  in your project folder 
Once the app is installed it might show a red screen . Though we have established a connection between our mobile and laptop , 
our react-native app still listens to localhost:8081 to get the javascript bundle

5) There’s a solution for this too :)  .
Open your dev menu (shake your device) -> 
Dev settings -> 
Under Debugging -> 
Debug server host & …….. -> 
pop up ->
enter your laptop’s ip and port or just follow this https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/running-on-device#method-2-connect-via-wi-fi :P 
Now if you have any sentiments attached to using your USB cable  and wanna reverse the above process just 	'adb usb'	 to switch back to normal useage 

I need to connect my ios device like this...

But I didn't have any mac system.. It is possible to connect windows OS to iPhone (install and debug with or without cable)

Thanks

And if I have many devices ?

pretty cool

Pretty Cool!

thank you, this is the only thing that works for me!

You can still avoid connecting the USB once by creating a debug apk:

cd android/
./gradlew assembleDebug

Then use the apk generated on android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug and follow the last step.

great
