### Description:
I’m currently developing a React Native app using Expo and I’m encountering an issue with the development URL. The Metro bundler is waiting on a custom URL com.anonymous.frontend://expo-development-client/?url=http%3A%2F%2F192.168.1.153%3A8081
on my iPhone SE (3rd generation). I want to change this back to the default URL so that the Expo development server can be detected on my localhost and accessed from other devices on my local network.
My Questions:
- How can I reset the Expo development URL to the default so it uses
localhost
or my local IP address? - Are there specific settings or configurations in
app.json
or elsewhere that I need to adjust to achieve this? - What are the best practices to ensure my development server is accessible from other devices on the same network?
Steps I’ve Taken:
- Stopped the current Expo server using
Ctrl + C
. - Cleared the Expo cache using
expo start -c
. - Restarted the Expo server with
expo start
.
Despite these steps, the custom URL persists.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
