Description

Please see the original issue.

I created a plain React Native v0.62.2 project. I tried to open dev menu on an iOS simulator from the terminal by pressing "d", but it didn't open. At the same time the Reload command works fine.

I also faced the same problem on a React Native Windows application. It seems that "Open developer menu" command works incorrectly from the terminal.

Hi, are there any updates on this?

[alpha0010]

Definitely annoying. My workaround for iOS was to use AssistiveTouch to put a button on screen that triggers the shake gesture. Frequently shaking a device during development is not good (difficult for tablets, and damaging to cables/ports).

This issue is still repro. Could you please help on this?

to be checked again with newer version of RN

[adamTrz]

Can confirm that issue is still present

@adamTrz I tried to investigate that, but cannot find where exactly the websocket messages are received - do you have any knowledge about it? Reloading the app works as excepted

[adamTrz]

Well, the message is definitely being sent here: https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/e590149a71db3253e5f118de457b31e8a130a993/packages/cli-server-api/src/websocket/createMessageSocketEndpoint.ts#L108 but then somehow it's got lost 🤷

[TMisiukiewicz]

seems to work correctly on Android 🤷 any help with discovering what's going on there is highly appreciated

[EzioLi01]

Checking it still repro on 0.71.1.
