Debugging in VSCode

Struggling to complete Getting Started - Lesson 13 (Debugging in VSCode) and have been stuck for several days. A few observations about my issue:

  • When attempting to add the configuration, I don’t see the React Native option. Instead, I use the Node.js option and manually add the configuration.
  • When running the debugger, it starts for a few seconds and then stops without any output or logs in the Debug Console (confirmed breakpoints are set up properly)

Here is my setup:

  • MacOS: 15.1.1 (M1 Max)
  • VSCode: 1.95.3 (Universal)
  • Node.js: 23.2.0
  • Expo: 6.3.12
  • React Native Tools: 1.13.0

Does anyone have any pointers on what might be missing ow hot to work around this issue? Happy to provide more details if needed
