Able to disable live reload in develoment mode

Live reload is surely great and helps improve productivity. However sometimes I just want to disable it during development. I want to be able to disable live reload without losing helpful validations and warnings introduced by development mode.

I'm experiencing the same problem, but enabling/disabling fast refresh isn't having any effect for me. I'm on SDK version 47.

Part of the confusion among the comments here is that in newer versions of Expo the Live Reload option is gone from the dev menu. And I think it was toggled on when Hot Reload was toggled off. Leaving us ClojureScript coders with the awful experience of having our app state trashed when we updated the code. However, It seems that with Expo 40.0.0 live reload isn't happening. Or at least not as much. I have to first enable Hot Reload then disable it, and then I can enjoy the stellar hot reloading of shadow-cljs.

As mentioned, you can disable live reloading from the development menu.

Shake, then disable.

Actually I use Clojurescript which comes with a very smart live reload mechanism. Expo's builtin live reload caused the whole app to restart which is equally productive.
