How do I use HMR when developing react-native on a device?

Question

I can launch Hot Module Replacement on the simulator, because I can directly type on the keyboard.

However I do not know how to access these debug options (cmd+ctrl+z or equivalent in windows) on the actual device.

Else if not using HMR, do you rebuild from Xcode? Any other method to reload the app rather than that? It can be slow.

Any help?

You should be able to just "shake" the device to open the debug menu :)

Thanks! But that made me make another question, more disturbing. Really do I have to shake a huge iPad? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37839666/how-do-i-open-react-natives-dev-menu-on-real-device – jsdario Jun 15 '16 at 16:07

Just do cmd+d on mac click Debug JS Remotely after you need to launch Enable Hot Reloading just one time.

Thanks, but remember I can't `cmd+d` on the tablet! So I still have to shake it. Exponent however is a great advise! – jsdario Jun 15 '16 at 16:55
