`make run-android` would fail for connected Android devices because the android device was not able to talk to metro bundler.
This was discovered by @J-Son89
This was easily fixed by reverse tcping port 8081.
## Review notes
connect Android device by USB or Wifi
- `make run-clojure`
- `make run-android`
status app must run without any errors on the connected Android device.
we also replace during install on emulator.
otherwise on old emulators `make run-android` fails with :
```
adb: failed to install ./result/app-debug.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS: Attempt to re-install im.status.ethereum.debug without first uninstalling.]
```
fixes#18888
## Summary
`make run-android` was sometimes flaky because we used to send metro to background via `nohup` and then bring it back to foreground after we read metro logs.
Now we do not send metro to background. We first wait for a successful build.
we then install the app on the simulator. After this is done we give command to sleep until metro server has started, Once metro server has started we open the installed app.
In this workflow the command to open the installed app goes in background and metro stays in foreground.
The new workflow should now be less flaky.
## Review notes
`make run-clojure`
`make run-android` OR `make run-ios` should just work
#### Platforms
- Android
- iOS
After upgrading `react-native` to `0.72.5` we frequently started seeing the _red screen of death_ on both `Android` and `iOS` simulators right after the app was built and installed.
This used to happen because our workflow required us to do the following :
- `make run-clojure`
- `make run-metro`
- `make run-ios` OR `make run-android`
The problem with this approach was after `metro` was started the `iOS`, `Android` build step would change the files that `metro` couldn't handle and hence metro would go out of sync.
The quick fix back then was to restart `metro` terminal and to open the app again from the simulator.
This was however not a good DX.
This commit fixes that.
We no longer rely on `react-native` cli to generate and deploy debug builds on simulators. We take control of the process via our own script. The new workflow introduced in this commit will first build the app, then install the app on the simulators and then start metro terminal. When `metro` is successfully running the script will then open the app.
The new workflow now is :
- `make run-clojure`
- `make run-ios` OR `make run-android`
