Summary:
When running metro on one machine and a react-native app on another, /launch-js-devtools causes the metro process to launch localhost:8081. However, the hostname can be overridden by the --host parameter to react-native start, which because of the hardcoding of localhost, causes the web debugger to not start, breaking the react-native app.
Test Plan:
Manually verified that the RN app can run when running react-native start with both: no params as well as --host
