Element inspector not working (React Native)

Question

When I am clicking "Show inspector" in debug menu and then select any element, the info about it is not shown

I tried to use react-devtools, but it is not connecting for some reason

I made a reload, it started working again, and after one more reload stopped working...

Answer 1

In my case, the inspector was in the collapsed mode because the react-dev tools were opened. When I closed the react-dev-tools the inspector on the iPhone simulator is seen as I expected.

I found the solution for my case from the React Native documentation.

However, when react-devtools is running, Inspector will enter a collapsed mode, and instead use the DevTools as primary UI.
