"adb reverse" Still Necessary with --injectserver=reactnative

[HAMPLENI]

Setup

OS

Windows 10

remote-redux-devtools

"remote-redux-devtools": "0.5.0"

const composeEnhancers = composeWithDevTools({hostname: "localhost", port: 8000});

remotedev-server

"remotedev-server": "0.2.4"

remotedev --hostname=localhost --port=8000 --injectserver=reactnative

remotedev-app

    "react": "15.6.2",
    "react-dom": "15.6.2",
    "react-scripts": "1.0.17",
    "remotedev-app": "0.10.8"

<DevToolsApp socketOptions={{hostname: "localhost", port: "8000", autoReconnect: true}} />

Potential Issue

According to this section of README.md, I should not need to run

adb reverse tcp:8000 tcp:8000

since I am using injectserver:

https:/zalmoxisus/remotedev-server#connect-from-android-device-or-emulator

I get the following error in the debugger for the React Native app if I do not execute adb reverse tcp:8000 tcp:8000:

remote-redux-devtools\lib\devTools.js:216

name: SocketProtocolError
message: "Socket hung up"

It works properly if I execute:

adb reverse tcp:8000 tcp:8000

Is this to be expected?

If so, I would like to find a way to make sure that port is forwarded whenever an Android emulator or connected device is running off of my machine.
