My mac-os using Wifi and when i move to other place my ip change and i always rebuild app for testing. Rebuild app is annoying.
on Android, i can set Development Server in Dev Menu, Dev Settings, Debug server host for device setting but nowhere found in IOS.
Why couldn't you have a UIViewController with a UITextField that contains the URL or IP you want to use and a UIButton on it that saves and updates this, then store the result in UserDefaults and pull from that for a URL every time?
There are also other options like Firebase Remote Config, which I would use instead of the above if you have many variables you'd want to configure on the fly like this.
If you're just trying to swap the IP/port as you move to a new network, I'd still just store it in UserDefaults and make a page to update it, though.
I use this tool to solve the problem.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server
http-server -p 8081 -P Http://{host}:{port} and use Xcode run app project.
Install react-native-DebugServerHost, link it and run again:
npm install react-native-DebugServerHost --save react-native link react-native run-ios Then new option will be appear in Developer Menu. After setting the ip of dev server you have to kill the app and run it again.
