Hi, there was an error on the Android platform, working on the iOS.
Error message is " websocket: connection error", "Failed to connect to localhost/127.0.0.1:7007".

npm i -g getstorybook
cd my-react-app
getstorybook

react-native 0.31.0
getstorybook 1.6.1

Can you try forwarding that port

adb reverse tcp:7007 tcp:7007

@mnmtanish Cool! It looks like it's going to work, but why do I have to do it? Is this a bug of Android?

[thani-sh]

It happens because localhost in the android device does not point to the host machine. This command will tunnel data from Android device to host machine for that port. The iOS simulator does this automatically
