Android Emulator cannot connect to React-Native remote debugger - Timeout while connecting

Question

Im trying to connect to the remote debugger using Android Emulator (Pixel XL API 28) and regardless of attempts I get the error message:

Unable to connect with remote debugger  
Timeout while connecting to remote debugger

The URL that Chrome opens appears correct: localhost:19006/debugger-ui
But the application always errors and will not connect.
I have tried the solution posted in React-native Timeout when connecting to remote debugger in windows with no luck. And most of the other SO questions do not match the issue I am encountering.

RN version: 0.52.0
Chrome Version: 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build)(64-bit)
Android Emulator: Pixel XL API 28
Using the Expo XDE IDe if it matters?

[ Emulator Error Message]

You open the debugger by yourself or it automatically opens when your app start? — Jose Vf, Sep 26 '18 at 16:35
@JoseVf - I'm pressing Ctrl-M on the emulator and selecting `Debug JS Remotely` — ProfessionalAmateur, Sep 26 '18 at 16:37
:/ I asked because (IDK why..) sometimes when I debug the IP and Port changes. — Jose Vf, Sep 26 '18 at 16:43

Try to open the debugger first (before run) in your browser, then run on emulator, and choose "debug JS Remotely"
