2. On Android shake the device or press hardware menu button (available on older devices and in most of the emulators, e.g. in [genymotion](https://www.genymotion.com) you can press `⌘ + m` to simulate hardware menu button click). You can also install [Frappé](http://getfrappe.com), a tool for OS X, which allows you to emulate shaking of devices remotely. You can use `⌘ + Shift + R` as a shortcut to trigger a **shake** from Frappé.
> 1. For iOS open your project in Xcode and select `Product` → `Scheme` → `Edit Scheme...` (or press `⌘ + <`). Next, select `Run` from the menu on the left and change the Build Configuration to `Release`.
> 2. For Android, by default, developer menu will be disabled in release builds done by gradle (e.g with gradle `assembleRelease` task). Although this behavior can be customized by passing proper value to `ReactInstanceManager#setUseDeveloperSupport`.
Selecting `Reload` (or pressing `⌘ + r` in the iOS simulator) will reload the JavaScript that powers your application. If you have added new resources (such as an image to `Images.xcassets` on iOS or to `res/drawable` folder on Android) or modified any native code (Objective-C/Swift code on iOS or Java/C++ code on Android), you will need to re-build the app for the changes to take effect.
To debug the JavaScript code in Chrome, select `Debug in Chrome` from the developer menu. This will open a new tab at [http://localhost:8081/debugger-ui](http://localhost:8081/debugger-ui).
In Chrome, press `⌘ + option + i` or select `View` → `Developer` → `Developer Tools` to toggle the developer tools console. Enable [Pause On Caught Exceptions](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2233339/javascript-is-there-a-way-to-get-chrome-to-break-on-all-errors/17324511#17324511) for a better debugging experience.
1. On iOS - open the file `RCTWebSocketExecutor.m` and change `localhost` to the IP address of your computer. Shake the device to open the development menu with the option to start debugging.
2. On Android, if you're running Android 5.0+ device connected via USB you can use `adb` command line tool to setup port forwarding from the device to your computer. For that run: `adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081` (see [this link](http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html) for help on `adb` command). Alternatively, you can [open dev menu](#debugging-react-native-apps) on the device and select `Dev Settings`, then update `Debug server host for device` setting to the IP address of your computer.
Install the [React Developer Tools](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/react-developer-tools/fmkadmapgofadopljbjfkapdkoienihi?hl=en) extension for Google Chrome. This will allow you to navigate the component hierarchy via the `React` in the developer tools (see [facebook/react-devtools](https://github.com/facebook/react-devtools) for more information).
