Can't connect my Android Phone in Expo React Native Project

Question

I'm using Expo App in my Android Device to connect into the my Laptop's Expo (Signed in both my same Expo's Account)I am also connected in the same network. Then I scanned my code then after that it is unable to connect it. This is the error:

Uncaught Error:java.net.ConnectException: Failed to connect to localhost/178.0.0.1:190000

There is also an eror that I get in my Expo's Laptop:

Sometimes the URL is not the same. It should be same, right? How do I solve this. Thank you in advance!

Solution 1

First off make sure to turn off all of your anti-virus software including anything that has firewall protection. You have to do this on both your computer and your phone. It can be kind of a pain in the butt

Then try using the "Tunnel" connection for the type of connection. I had the same problem and that's how I finally got it to work on my phone.

Solution 2

Steps I followed that solved my issue

1. Restarted Router.
2. Clear Expo Go data from settings
3. Run expo start and everything working good now

If you're using Windows, make sure the network you are using is configured as a Private network. If it's set as a Public network, you will not be able to connect.
