Native Mobile APP not completing start up

0
Hi, I am using Mendix 11.1 for creating my first native project. As the initial step I have used Native Mobile Quickstart from App store and without any custom changes trying to run it locally. However, the app is taking longer time to start up and prompting following error: {Mendix path}\node_modules\react-native\local-cli\cli.js" start --port "8083" --config "{ProjectPath}deployment\native\metro.config.json" Watchman:  watchman --no-pretty get-sockname returned with exit code=1, signal=null, stderr= 2020-09-07T15:36:52,534: [cli] unable to talk to your watchman on \\.\pipe\watchman-Hari! (No such file or directory) Do I need to install watchman in mendix separately? What could be going wrong, even the I port details are not visible to run the app in mendix make it native android app.

You don't need to install anything separately. Here are some steps you could take:

1 You have to make sure your device is connected to the same network as your pc

2 Make sure your app is running on port 8080

3 Check your firewall / security settings

No, you do not need to install Watchman. It should startup without any further actions. Just creating any new Native Mobile Quickstart App should be up and running without any other actions.

The only problem I have once in a while at starting a native app is when another app is already running locally, or was and did not end gracefully, and port 8083 is already occupied. You can check if that is so by running this at your command-prompt ‘netstat -ano |file “8083”’ and ‘taskkill -PID <pidnr> /F’ to kill the blocking process. But seeing your error, I don’t think 8083 is already in use.

You are using version 11.1 (8.11.1 I think). Try installing Mendix version 8.12.1 and repeat the creation of the native app. I expect this will solve your problem.
