React Native Style Editor - live editing not working

[ifelse-]

My React Native Style Editor standalone style live editing not working. I'm doing a React Native tutorial where the teacher suggested using react-native-debugger but when he went to edit the style in the panel he was able to change the background color live. When I try to edit the backgroundColor the value will not change.

React Native Debugger app version: 0.8.2
React Native version:
"react": "16.6.3",
"react-native": "0.57.8"
Platform: iOS, Android
Is real device of platform: No
Operating System: macOS

Hey @ifelse-, do you still have this issue? I've tested things out and style updating works for me in latest version.

Did you try to updeat other values, paddings etc.?

Having same problem too
Looks like we're doing the same RN course too @ifelse-

@git-hubber, could you share the course, source code or anything that we could reproduce the issue on? We cannot reproduce it.

My code/solution is slightly different, but this is the generic course code - which mine is based on.

If I click in to edit a style (in the "React Native Style Editor") as soon as the focus is lost, the style reverts back to how it was and I never see the style change in the iOS simulator.

I'm having the same issue. The debugger marks the props as read-only and therefore not editable. Here's a screenshot of it.

I think we're taking the same course too. Other people in the Q&A sections have reported this same behavior.

@git-hubber uploaded the same code I was going to.

I'm taking the same course. The solution I have is to edit the RCTView tag nested inside the tag you're trying to target. That seems to take on all the styles I want to add. I'm not sure if that's a bug or if that is intended behavior.

<View> 
  <Context.Consumer>
    <RCTView>
       ^ this one

I had been using React native debugger for nearly a month now with no issues and just got hit with this "Props read-only" bug. Is there anything new on the issue? It really kills the usefulness of it.
