Cannot Open Dev Menu on Xiaomi Devices

Question

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

Answer 1

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.
