Metro Not Launching App on Physical iOS 17.4.1 Device

[garrettvuky]

My metro was working fine yesterday but after my phone automatically updated overnight when I try to build an app it will install on the device but won't open automatically. I also can't connect to Metro manually by opening the app. It works fine on Android. I'm using zulu-17 through sdkman and node v21.7.3. It isn't working for any react-native app.

I've spent the past 10 hours trying this: I tried to clean my metro cache. I tried to delete node_modules and yarn.lock then yarn install and pod install. I tried to connect to my iPhone's hotspot to ensure a similar connection. I tried clearing my trusted devices I tried to clean my pod cache. I tried to reclone the repo and start from the beginning. I tried switching my xCode from release -> debug. I tried altering various xCode build settings. I tried reinstalling node. I tried updating my iPhone. I tried configuring the bundler to my Mac's ip and port. I reset my entire Macbook and reinstalled everything.

Again, I suspect it had something to do with my iPhone updating overnight because It was working fine yesterday and I didn't touch anything, But I'm unsure of any other options besides wiping my phone.

Update: I tried it using a friend's iPhone on iOS 16 and it launched successfully.
