--no-packager

Do not launch packager while building.

--port <number>

default: process.env.RCT_METRO_PORT || 8081

--terminal <string>

default: process.env.REACT_TERMINAL || process.env.TERM_PROGRAM

--tasks <list>

default: 'installDebug'

Run custom gradle tasks. If this argument is provided, then --mode option is ignored. Example: yarn react-native run-android --tasks clean,installDebug.

--list-devices
