REPL - Figwheel won't connect to re-natal app

Question

I'm starting an app from Re-Natal template (didn't change it; project.clj from https://github.com/drapanjanas/re-natal/blob/master/resources/project.clj).

Then I ran

react-native start
re-natal use-android-device avd
re-natal use-figwheel
lein figwheel android
react-native run-android

The app runs ok on the device, but the repl stays at Prompt will show when Figwheel connects to your application, and the code won't reload. The same happens on a real android device.

I'm also reloading the app after it starts.

Am I missing something?

Update: output from react-native run-android

I have had this in other cases as well but one case in which this will happen is when you have done a production build with Leiningen and not subsequently re-run re-natal use-figwheel. To solve this you would have to

1. Run re-natal use-figwheel
2. Relaunch react-native start / npm run start
3. Reload the Android app.
