🐛 What is the bug? How can we reproduce it?

In visual studio code 1.92.0 or 1.92.1 windows 11 or 10
when debugging android is launched display error:
An error occurred while launching the application. spawn EINVAL (error code 303)

doing some research is linked to the indicated security change:

Hey @uganof , thanks for reporting it. The bug fixing is in progress, any updates will comment here.

As a workaround, you can use native command npx react-native run-android to launch you application and use attach request to debug your app.

   {
            "name": "Attach to Hermes application",
            "request": "attach",
            "type": "reactnativedirect",
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
        }

Thank you!

Hey @uganof , this issue should be fixed. Could you please uninstall existing extension and try on this one(Unzip and manually install .vsix file in vscode extension tab)? Any issue please let me know.

Hi @lexie011,
I installed the extension you attached and now it works correctly as before.
Thank you

@uganof Please use this extension for the debugging, currently microsoft pipeline is updating, after this we will work on new version release process.

@uganof I'm getting an error trying to use this extension. Pls provide me the solution.

[Info] Need to check main file and entry point of open module, will setup and write new content if they're not existing. Path: d:\new\admin project\admin\node_modules\open

[Info] Find open-main.js and entry in open module, skip setup...

[Info] Starting Packager

'd:\new\admin' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Maybe you can rename folder without space. Like 'AdminProject', not 'admin project'.

This one works. Thanks.

        }

But which option to run to attach to android emulator ? all options give error

@Master-Servis Have you installed extension mentioned in this comment?

As mentioned in above related issue, the new version of extension is not released since MS is working on updating pipeline security policy and it's still in progress.

Also you can try to package and install your own .vsix file following this doc.

Will publish new version of extension once the pipeline is getting back.

Hi, extension did not work for me. I did the following:

Ran command npx react-native start --experimental-debugger

Then put json config:

{
  "configurations": [

    {
    "name": "Attach to Hermes application - Experimental",
    "request": "attach",
    "type": "reactnativedirect",
    "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
    "address": "localhost",
    "port": 8081
    }
  ]
}

And clicked run in debugger on top of already running reactapp.

That worked. Thanks.

Just to let you know, this is still happening with the last VSC version from the Extensions marketplace.
I had to download your zip version in order to be able to debug and run the react native application on desktop (targeting widnows platform).
