@98rahul - Take a look at these. I believe this is a known issue with workaround. Try disabling "Highlight updates when components render"

@iBotPeaches i didn't find the supportsTraceUpdates in order to make it comment .
can you specify the path as i go through the whole node_modules\react-devtools-core\dist\backend.js ..

[iBotPeaches]

@98rahul - Sorry mate. I just found some links to try and help you. Best of luck.

[98rahul]

@iBotPeaches always welcome!
but i'm using flipper to debug the RN-app ,as mmkv does not supporting on chrome to debug bcz of sync behaviour so, i'm unaware about how to Highlight updates when components render on flipper(it isn't available).
i was expecting some code break around initialize function .
