react native - After upgrade livereload missing on real device, cannot debug js remotely from real device

Question

After updating react native from 0.26 to 0.29, live reload and hot code push items are missing in dev menu, so I have to manually reload the app every time. However, it's working in simulator. Have I messed up something while upgrading? I tried to update to 0.30, but didn't help.

Also, remote debugging from real device doesn't work, works only while running app in simulator. I get this error: Runtime is not ready for debugging, but I'm sure that packager server is running, it's not paused on breakpoint. Any ideas?

React version: 15.2.1 Watchman version: 4.5.0

Thanks :)

Figured out the needed configuration for make live reload work:

jsCodeLocation = [NSURL URLWithString: @"http://192.168.0.200:8081/index.ios.bundle?platform=ios&dev=true"];

note also that without "?platform=ios&dev=true" Hot Reload didn't work for me ("Unbalanced calls start/end" errors).

and in RCTWebSocketExecutor.m:

host = @"http://192.168.0.200";

192.168.0.200 - address of your computer. Both computer and device have to be in the same network. After that "Live Reload" item in "shake" dev menu appeared and also i started to see logs in server console:

and also "gotta be on the same wifi network" as @jmancherje mentioned
