Hello, so I’m working on an app with a Hyper-v Android emulator connected through ADB. Yesterday the cli asked me to upgrade the expo go app on the target device, so I did. Now when I’m clicking Run on Android device/emulator in Metro it opens on the emulator like it always did, I can see the first screen, then it starts again. The log shows it bundles the app over and over again :

Here is the logcat

Thanks ahead.

Hey @jerrybels, can you let me know if you’re able to reproduce this with a newly created project as well?

Hello, I just tried with a new app and it doesn’t loop. I tried deleting node_modules on my project and reinstalling it, it didn’t help. Strange.

[EDIT] and I guess something on the way fixed it because I tried again now without changing anything and it doesn’t loop. Thanks. Would have liked to understand though xD

See if adb logcat gives you any clues.

I posted it because I didn’t find anything but I’m kinda bad at reading it :stuck_out_tongue:

Sorry, I didn’t see you’d posted it in the initial message.

I can’t claim to be an expert in reading logcat output :confused:

I see there are a bunch of stack traces and other error and warning messages, but I couldn’t work out based on that what was the cause of your problems.
