Android react native couldn't get batched bridge

Question

Am trying to run my first react native project but am getting error

"Couldn't get batched bridge, make sure your package is bundled correctly"

Please help me to fix it- Am using windows machine

Which RN Version? Did you followed a tutorial or something like that? Could you add a bit more information please? Is it maybe related to this issue on github https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/9336 — Fabian, Aug 25 '16 at 05:36
Version 0.31 and followed the official documentation https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html#content... I didn't write any app specific code as the documentation says i created hello word app that is it. Am on Windows machine not mac — Bytecode, Aug 25 '16 at 05:43
Do you use an android emulator? What happen if you run the hello world project on a real device? — Fabian, Aug 25 '16 at 05:48
Actually am getting this error in device, i didn't tryout the emulator — Bytecode, Aug 25 '16 at 06:01
Install app from apk file. Try this solution http://stackoverflow.com/a/38874952/6799198 — Hubert Jaruzal, Sep 06 '16 at 07:50
@HubertJaruzal got the solution, port 8081 was already allocated to virus scanner (Macfee), I have disabled it and its working — Bytecode, Sep 06 '16 at 08:58

I had the same issue. Follow these steps for the resolution in your project's folder:

react-native start

This might take a while. Output will look like this:

Once this is over run this:

react-native run-android

Why this isn't in the React Native tutorial is beyond me. It doesn't work for me without `react-native start`. — thepanuto, Jan 25 '17 at 21:11
It worked for but I don't know why it isn't in the documentation. — Hunsu, Jun 27 '17 at 19:53

I had the same problem in a Windows machine when following the Getting Started tutorial, and using Visual Studio Emulator for Android.

In my case, I found out that it was failing because it couldn't find adb when building the app, so I solved it by adding the Android SDK Platform Tools folder to my PATH. Check that you have it! :)

I am also using Visual Studio Emulator for Android, and getting the problem fixed by this method. I found env variable %ANDROID_HOME% setup to "C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk", so I append "%ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools" to %PATH% variable – Joe Lau Apr 25 '17 at 10:19

If people are still looking for solution. (Please note this works for devices with android 5.0 or greater)

This link clearly explains how to run in device.

To install and launch your app on the device, you need to run the following adb command (which connects to the development server running on your development machine)

$ adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081

For Mac users:--

1. Go to Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools
2. ./adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081

For Windows users:-

1. Go to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools
2. adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081

I was having the same issue-
What worked for me:
1. Open the app in the android device.
2. Shake it(to reload)
3. Then, on the menu click on dev settings
4. Then click on Debug server host & port for device
5. Enter your computer's IP followed by port(viz 8081 normally). e.g. 192.168.0.3:8081
6. RELOAD. Voila! It worked.
