[iOS] Flipper is not detecting apps after upgrading to RNv0.72

[dusanristic]

After I upgraded my RN project to v0.72, Flipper stopped detecting my apps. Besides not showing the app, it is displaying an 'DEVICE DISCONNECTED' error label. Beside that, React DevTools work properly, but the plugins do not, as if I didn't properly initialize them. To troubleshoot, I created a barebone project, and in that scenario, Flipper works as expected. This indicates that something went wrong during the upgrade process, but I'm having trouble pinpointing the exact cause.

I'd appreciate any insights or suggestions you might have to resolve this issue.

Here are some relevant libraries and versions I'm using:

• react-native: 0.72.6
• react-native-flipper: 0.200.0
• Flipper app: 0.200.0

Additionally, I've encountered an error in Flipper Logs, and while I'm not sure if it's related, I'll provide the error details for reference:

Same.

Additionally note, everything works well on Android, so this is an iOS-specific problem.

i am facing on android as well

Hey guys, related to iOS, this issue helped me. Make sure to call

#ifdef FB_SONARKIT_ENABLED
  InitializeFlipper(application);
#endif

inside - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication )application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary )launchOptions function, before return statement.

@rajeshp2511 Do devices show up at all in Flipper, or do you only have a problem with displaying the app inside it?

Additionally, make sure to

• use Flipper. 0.163.0, as newer versions have a problem compiling
• set arm64 to be excluded architecture for all builds (check the image below)

With everything setup as the official guide, does not work on Android. Getting "Metro is connected but no Hermes apps were found" and similar errors in the Flipper logs as OP.

This is the answer. The newer versions of RN remove RCTAppSetupUtils so the React Native 0.68+ install instructions no longer apply. But use the React Native 0.67 instructions again and it will work. Docs should be updated!
