Summary
Upgrade the React DevTools backend to match the React DevTools 8.0 frontend in React Native DevTools, which adds a Suspense panel. The 6.x backend does not report Suspense boundaries.
Note
Land together with the
@react-native/debugger-frontendsync that brings in react/react-native-devtools-frontend#289 and react/react-native-devtools-frontend#290. Against the 6.x backend, the 8.x frontend fails to build the component tree, although the bridge protocol version is unchanged.Changelog:
