## Debugging React Native Apps
To debug the javascript code of your react app do the following:
1. Run your application in the iOS simulator.
2. Press ```Command + D``` and a webpage should open up at [http://localhost:8081/debugger-ui](http://localhost:8081/debugger-ui). (Chrome only for now)
3. 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.
4. Press ```Command + Option + I``` to open the Chrome Developer tools, or open it via ```View``` -> ```Developer``` -> ```Developer Tools```.
