If I run react-native packager on port 9999 how do I tell the IOS simulator that that is the port to listen to?

Probably will need to know how to fix this for Android as well.

I don't see any answers for this in help: 

$ react-native run-ios --help 

react-native run-ios [options]
builds your app and starts it on iOS simulator

Options:

-h, --help               output usage information
--simulator [string]     Explicitly set simulator to use
--scheme [string]        Explicitly set Xcode scheme to use
--project-path [string]  Path relative to project root where the Xcode project (.xcodeproj) lives. The default is 'ios'.
--device [string]        Explicitly set device to use by name
--udid [string]          Explicitly set device to use by udid
--config [string]        Path to the CLI configuration file

I'd like to run my react-packager on a different port because there is an agent listening on 8081 that I probably shouldn't kill.

I'm starting the app with 

node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start --port 9999

Which results in: 

** BUILD FAILED **

The following build commands failed:
    PhaseScriptExecution Run\ Script /Users/collumj/research/indraEight/ios/build/Build/Intermediates/React.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/React.build/Script-006B79A01A781F38006873D1.sh

And the app won't start (instant crash). Killing the process that is listening on 8081 and starting the app will result in BUILD SUCCEEDED.

In order to change that you have to do this:

  • Open the Developer menu
  • Select Dev Settings
  • Finally select Debug server host & port for develop

That's all, good luck
