So I think I spent enough time on this trying to make it work and in my case the answer to my own questions is. It is kind of a connector between your app and virtual or real android device it has to be running before you start emulator and basic command are. I am using yarn and it needs that to know where adb.

I know about Android Studio and virtual devices that come with it but I would like to try that as the last option. Error while executing command 'adb devices': Command failed: adb devices 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

My current attempts end with error: Could not debug. I can successfully start emulator, that part works but cant figure out how to config react-native to use it instead of 'adb devices'.
