Adb reverse gives the error: more than one device/emulator

When debugging a ReactNative app on a physical Android device, one can get an error that the device cannot connect to Metro.

We are building a shared UI platform for one of our clients where we decided to store the code in a monorepo and use nx.dev to help us with the code organisation, dependencies, builds, etc. When trying to set up the common libraries of the project as publishable (and buildable) libs, we run into compilation… Continue reading NX.dev – Problems with buildable libraries.

In a React app, I need to press the back button 2 times in order to go to the previous page

In case you have such an issue, and verify that you don’t call history.push() 2 times, check your content for an iframe.
