Cannot Open Dev Menu on Xiaomi Devices

I am using react-native-cli for making a React Native App. It is working fine, and successfully installs on my connected Device but I cannot open the Dev Menu on it.

There is no hardware Menu button, and the shake device ain't working too.

Is there any other way to open the Dev menu?

Or is this bug specific to Xiaomi devices and dev menu cannot be opened on MI?

Phone: Mi Note 3 React Native: 0.39.2

I get Xiaomi Mi 8 and, after many hours I have discovered how show the dev menu.

The problem, in this device, is that when you send the command:

adb shell input keyevent 82

is the same that perform a click "menu button" on device.

In brief, if you want to show dev menu on newest devices with miui, you must perform a "long click" on the menu button (NOT A "SIMPLE CLICK")

All the best!

While the device is connected (check adb devices -l), you can use the command:

adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_MENU

On my Redmi 4X i need to hold the "menu" button to open The Dev Menu options.

To verify this option, you can go to: Settings --> Additional config --> Buttons and gestures shortcuts --> Show menu

PS: As palaniraja said, you need to enable popup permission as well.

For xiaomi devices, you need to enable popup permission from security->permissions->app name -> popup
