I think it's the problem of 'save write', I am using Webstorm, uncheck "File->Settings->System Settings->sychronization->use safe write" to see if it helps you.

Answer 3

Basically it looks like windows bug on react packager. When you disable Hot Reloading, it should be stopped. If not, can you try "npm cache clean" before run "react-native run-android", please? Also you can try to run on administrator. If these are not working, maybe it's about Antivirus app.

Also can you add ".idea" folder to your github ignore file to try? And are you trying to run it from Webstorm (or any eclipse-based platform) directly or terminal?

Closing SourceTree did the trick for me. Once I pushed my changes to the repository also crashed server (I suppose GitKraken has the same effect).
