I run my app with react-native run-android and server with npm start.

Solution

  • You need to enable 'Live Reload'.

    On Physical device:

    Shake the device and then choose 'Enable Live Reload' from the menu.

    On the simulator:

    When the Android simulator is open:

    cmd (ctrl on Windows) + m
    

    ios simulator:

    cmd + d
    

    and then choose 'Enable Live Reload' from the menu.
