Hot reloading not working with components as functions

[gbbarroso]

I just started a new project and it seems hot reload doesn't work when using components as functions, however it works when changing it to a class that extends React.Component

React Native version: 0.60.5

System:
OS: Windows 10
CPU: (4) x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz
Memory: 7.19 GB / 15.88 GB
Binaries:
Node: 10.15.3 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.EXE
npm: 6.4.1 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.CMD
IDEs:
Android Studio: Version 3.3.0.0 AI-182.5107.16.33.5314842

Steps To Reproduce

1. react-native init myproj
2. cd ./myproj
3. react-native run-android
4. Enable hot reload on app
5. Change some Text on App.js and save it
6. Hot reload's tooltip shows up, but no changes are applied
7. Refactor App function into a class that extends from React.component and move into a render() method.
8. Hot reloading is now working.

Describe what you expected to happen:
From what I understand it should work for functions components as well, I was reading into react hooks documentations and it even said it would make things easier for hot reloading.

@gbbarroso in version 0.61-rc3 it already works correctly, but react-native-gesture-handler stops working, in case you are using it

I have also the same problem

@gbbarroso in version 0.61-rc3 it already works correctly, but react-native-gesture-handler stops working, in case you are using it

next release/rc will have fix to react-native-gesture-handler react-native-community/releases#140 (comment)

"A temporary workaround for the problem is to use gestureHandlerRootHOC to wrap top level component of your RN app."

Closing as this is fixed with fast refresh in 0.61 RC
