React-Native debugging tools/developer menu not working on iOS device - ios

We have a react-native project which is working fine in the simulator and on the device. However, we are unable to open the developer menu using the shake gesture on an iOS device.
I have seen other issues but have been unable to resolve: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/5122
We have the standard configuration setup in Xcode so using the debug scheme to build.
The DEBUG=1 setting is also added to the preprocessor macros:
However, when shaking the device I'm just looking stupid and the menu does not show. Any idea on how to resolve this would be appreciated.

On my Android device, I find it hard to trigger the shake gesture for the React Native developer menu -- I end up shaking the device pretty hard and on several different axes (both parallel and perpendicular to the plane of the phone) before it triggers.
Maybe try shaking harder and in more directions?

Unity3d always shuts down when launching on iOS

I have a weird bug with my game on iOS platform.
When I build it from xCode it works great no matter how many times I run it. When I leave that build on iPhone 6s for one day it can't be opened anymore. When I click on icon it only shows black screen and then returns to home screen. If I double click menu button, the game is in active tasks and I can see that the game was loaded. But it cant be opened. Its like its always minimised or that graphics are failing.
I am using Unity 5.3.4f1 and graphic api is set to OpenGLES 2.0.
Has anyone else run to a problem like this?
Any suggestions or fix?
Edit:
So after testing it turns out it only happens with build from xCode and not with version that is on app store. So I guess it has something to do with provisioning profiles or similar.

iOS simulator change devices not working

So I'm working through the BNR iOS objective c book, and I want to run a project on the iPad simulator. according to the book, I change the deployment device in the general settings for the project target as "universal," which I did.
However when I run and switch to any iPad on the simulator I get drawn back to the main method of my project. The iPad does appear after a delay, but without the app I built. I've set all the views in my xibs to "inferred" but I still can't run my project on iPad.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
This is probably because the app is crashing. it's possible if you created the app without setting it to universal it is missing a storyboard for iPad which would cause a crash and take you to that area. You should look at the console logs and see what is happening. There should be good information in there as to what is missing or why it's crashing right away.

Xcode 6.1 issues while opening the simulator

I have recently started working on IOS app development and was encountering an issue. I have downloaded XCode 6.1.1 and my target SDK is IOS 8.1.
On building and running my application I dont have the mobile/Iphone interface coming up in which I can check my layout how the app will be presented once it is deployed on Iphone. All I get is a rectangular box which is definitely not resizable and I am unable to check my app.
On this rectangular box which is definitely not the one I am expecting, I can see my labels and buttons in a crap state.
I tried changing the SDK version to 7.1, changed the build type from debug to release, change the deployment target to 7.1 also, using Iphone 5S,7.1 simulator also but the issue seems non-resolved.
It looks like you're on 100% zoom, so you should be able to see the full phone by zooming out. In the iOS simulator, in the top bar go to Window->Scale and select 50% or 75%. If the zoom level is the problem, that should fix it. Hope it helps :)

iOS simulator is running slowly

When I was debugging with Xcode, iOS simulator is running slowly.
I encounter this issue every month, but I cannot find a step for reproduction.
This issue occurred when I debug my project though, I cannot provide the project, because it is our company’s property.
I recorded this on following URL.

It looks like 'slow animations' is enabled. You can disable this in the simulator, top bar, Debug > Toggle Slow Animations

iOS accessibility labels not shown in Instruments on device build

I have been putting accessibility labels into our source code so that we can automate using apples automation framework. When we first started this project, we were building using sdk 4.3 and I had troubles getting the simulator to show the labels in the application. Through advice on stack overflow I was able to fix it by altering the accessibility.plist in the simulator files.
Now that we have switched over to iOS sdk 5.0. I am having the opposite problem. I can no longer get the labels to show up on the device when I run our automation tests. They show up fine in the simulator. And I'm also able to confirm that they were properly compiled into the application by turning on VoiceOver on the device and doing a triple-double tab of and application window to show the elements.
I've looked over all the build settings and made sure everything was set to a debug build, and have tried going back to a build that I know worked when building for a 4.3 device and having the same exact settings(except for the sdk version of course) but the labels are still not being picked up.
So where do I go from here? Is there a library file that needs to be included into the application when building for iOS 5?
On the device, in "Settings > Accessibility > Triple-click Home", choose "Ask". This seems to turn on "enough" of the accessibility machinery to make things work, but not so much of it that it'll interfere with the normal functions of the device (ex. turning on VoiceOver works too, but changes the flow of the app in ways that break tests.)
