Shake gesture not working on physical device with react native

Question

I am using react native version 0.38 and somehow the shake gesture, which is bringing up the developer menu has stopped working.

The devices is connected, and I already reversed the 8081 port. The adb shell command for keyevent input (adb shell input keyevent 82 or KEYCODE_MENU) is bringing up the background running applications.

The device is a Xiaomi redmi 3 with 5.1.1.

Any ideas how can I bring up the developer menu?

Answer 1

On android, you should be able to open the dev menu by "Long" pressing the 'Overview' button (the square).
