Open Dev Menu or reload app without shaking?

Question

Is there a way to open dev menu or reload app without shaking the app?

Hot reload or Live reload is not good enough and my arm hurts :)

Answer 1

for android : in your package.json add following lines in scripts

 "reload":"adb shell input keyevent 82 && adb shell input keyevent 66 && adb shell input keyevent 66",
 "devmenu":"adb shell input keyevent 82",
 "debug":"adb shell input keyevent 82 && adb shell input keyevent 61 && adb shell input keyevent 66 && adb shell input keyevent 66"

now you can run npm run devmenu to open shake menu in android, and reload to reload the app, and debug to connect to remote debugger.

for ios : you can make a button for it somewhere in app, and let this thing only be shown when app is in dev mode.

import {NativeModules,Platform} from "react-native"


renderDevMenuTouchable = () => {
    if(__DEV__ && Platform.OS == "ios" ){
        return (
            <TouchableOpacity
            style={styles.touchableDebug}
            onPress={()=>{
                NativeModules.DevMenu.reload();
            }}
            onLongPress={()=>{
                NativeModules.DevMenu.show();
            }}
            > 
            <View style={{backgroundColor:"red",width:23,height:25}}/>
            </TouchableOpacity>
        )
    }
    else {
        return null;
    }

}
