Replace all instances of hard coded port 8081 in react-native and @react-native-community packages
npm install react-native-port-patcherreact-native-port-patcher
=========================
Attempts to resolve this issue: https://productpains.com/post/react-native/allow-packager-port-to-be-configurable-change-from-8081/
Install it as a dev-dependency in your react-native project:
``shell`
npm install -D react-native-port-patcher
Then update your package.json to include:
`js`
"scripts": {
"postinstall": "react-native-port-patcher --new-port 8088"
}
Now after you [yarn][] or npm install, the script will find your react-native package and @react-native-community projects under node_modules and regex search/replace all instances of /\b8081\b/g` with the port you provide.
