Summary: This shows progress for the download of the JS bundle (different from the packager transform progress that we show already). This is useful especially when loading the JS bundle from a remote source or when developing on device (on simulator + localhost it pretty much just downloads instantly). This will be nice for the expo client since all bundles are loaded over the network and can take several seconds to load. This depends on https://github.com/facebook/metro-bundler/pull/28 to work but won't crash or anything without it, it just won't show the progress percentage.  **Test plan** Tested that bundle download progress is shown properly in RNTester on both localhost + simulator and on real device with network conditionner to simulate a slow loading bundle. Tested that it doesn't cause issues if the packager doesn't send the Content-Length header.

RNTester
The RNTester showcases React Native views and modules.
Running this app
Before running the app, make sure you ran:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install
Running on iOS
Mac OS and Xcode are required.
- Open
RNTester/RNTester.xcodeprojin Xcode - Hit the Run button
See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.
Running on Android
You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.
Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).
cd react-native
./gradlew :RNTester:android:app:installDebug
./scripts/packager.sh
Note: Building for the first time can take a while.
Open the RNTester app in your emulator.
See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.
Running with Buck
Follow the same setup as running with gradle.
Install Buck from here.
Run the following commands from the react-native folder:
./gradlew :ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck
buck fetch rntester
buck install -r rntester
./scripts/packager.sh
Note: The native libs are still built using gradle. Full build with buck is coming soon(tm).
Built from source
Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.
This is different from apps created using react-native init which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json file (and build.gradle for Android apps).
