App closes after clicking "Debug JS Remotely" when running the app with `expo start --android --offline`

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: 39
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): Android

I want to run my project on an actual device without having the need to connect my phone on a wifi network where my computer is also connected on. So I tried expo start --android --offline (also tried adding --dev), It runs but the app closes after opening the Menu and choosing “Debug JS Remotely”. I want to debug over the usb cable and not through the Wifi network because our company’s machines are only wired and we wifi is not available/allowed.

This is a known problem:

I see the two pull requests mentioned in the issue were merged yesterday so I expect the fix will be released soon.

It looks like this has now been fixed:
