  1. Nice walkthrough. Would be a lot more useful to debug from VSCode if the Debug Console showed line numbers. Am I missing something?

  2. Thank you! it was really helpful for me to setup debugging for react native. I’m pretty noobish in react js environment and after years in Android Native development this was really confusing to me.

  3. So what happens when you can’t get past the first step.
    $ npx react-native doctor –verbose
    error Reduce of empty array with no initial value
    TypeError: Reduce of empty array with no initial value

  4. Not sure if this article (for expo users) still up-to-date. I have followed all the instructions but still have challenges starting the debugging
