As for learning Gradle... that's a misery :'( It's generally a huge PITA having to deal with it.

I mostly learned from blogposts or other Gradle plugin (using cs.github.com a lot). Gradle docs are also 'decent' but the problem is that there are 10 different APIs to do the same thing

Build software better, together

GitHub is where people build software. More than 150 million people use GitHub to discover, fork, and contribute to over 420 million projects.

I would probably hook here:
github.com/facebook/rea...

Specifically, you could create a new string resource called `react_native_dev_server_host`, with default value `localhost` and let the Gradle plugin override its value if necessary.

It's worth a try.

However, I suspect it won't work as you won't have the port forwarding which `adb reverse` sets up.

Plus if your phone and computer are on different networks (say 5G vs Wifi), connecting via LAN won't work also.

I’m not aware of anything similar on Android 🤔

Nicola Corti @cortini.co · Jan 22

AFAIK there is no way to write to a file so that the reverse proxy is automatically created.

The best course of actions is for frameworks (Expo, Community CLI, etc.) to incorporate an `adb reverse` call as part of their launch command.

Kicking off 2025 strongly!

Big tip of the hat to the react-native releases crew.

I track their releases with rigorous build testing to ensure react-native-firebase builds cleanly. Zero issues with the upcoming 0.77 release through entire rc cycle.

react-native 0.77.0 full release coming soon and I'm looking forward to it!

Another reason to do the repro is that I have mutlople times found out that it was a bug on my part, couldn't repro it 😅

Saves everybody's time and helps to put debugging effort into the right place.

cool new 'merge' UI for GitHub with more collapsed information on successfull/failed signals

A lot of time I read on bug reports things like "the bug is so easy, it doesn't need a repro".

Don't be lazy and add a reproducer if you're asked for it.

Creating a good repro is 100% a worthy OSS contribution!

I really don't want to take the credit for this one as I believe @mikehardy.net did most of the job by creating the repro that was so good

Nicola Corti @cortini.co · Dec 6

Thanks to the reproducer being so good, I was able to fix the crash in one day!

@mikehardy.net reported that this was affecting Firebase Cloud Messaging and started investigating it.

He provided a good reproducer with:
- A project that reproduce the bug consistently
- Instructions in the README on how to reproduce
- The minimal code, all contained in the `MainApplication.kt`
