How do I solve a NetworkError when attempting to debug a React Native application?

Question

I am creating an Android React Native application and everything seems to be working fine except when I attempt to debug the program. When I attempt to do this, the app just becomes a blank white screen and the Chrome console has this error:

Uncaught NetworkError: Failed to execute 'importScripts' on 'WorkerGlobalScope': The script at 'http://localhost:8081/index.android.bundle?platform=android&dev=true' failed to load.

A few seconds later the app crashes. Does anyone have any idea how to solve this? I just started the project and I haven't really done that much yet so I don't know why this would be breaking

Answer 1

The reason I've come across that error, is because I was running with chrome debugging enabled. Turning that off solved the error for me.
