Thanks for posting this! It looks like you may not be using the latest version of React Native, v0.53.0, released on January 2018. Can you make sure this issue can still be reproduced in the latest version?

I am going to close this, but please feel free to open a new issue if you are able to confirm that this is still a problem in v0.53.0 or newer.

I'm having the same issue with react-native react-native@0.53.0

Can we please reopen this issue?

[megelismi]

I'm also facing this issue with react-native react-native@0.53.0

[KunwarSingh]

Its working now on 0.53.0
Just turn off all your google chrome extensions and restart it. Then debug-mode works like charm.

I am also having the issue in 0.53.0. Sometimes it works sometimes not. Disabling all extensions should not be the solution (not even tried this), because we will not be able to work on chrome with many other websites during development.

I'm having the same issue on 0.53.0 on Android

[afilp]

Can this issue be reopened please? Why do bots close it?

It is obvious that when using Android Studio to "Debug app" then we get the Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'volume' of null problem.

For me adding export default to this line:

export default class App extends Component {

In App.js is what got rid of the issue.

Thanks but I already have this export default in class.
