Flipper not able to pick the application from Simulator

[rizwanatta]

attached image show even though the application is on i am unable to see the application in FLIPPER

what i have done so far is

• I have unCommented the code for initilasing Flipper in MainApplication.java file
• i am able to see hermes based logs
• but Network plugin is what i wanna keep eye on ( which becomes unavailable )

QUESTION

are there any other steps that we should do to enable flipper #whyItsCommentedOnFirstPlace

Hi @rizwanatta!

I am seeing the same screen as you do. Why was it commented in the first place? Honestly, I don't remember but probably it was breaking something.

I don't usually use any debugging tools like Flipper, I go straight with Xcode or Android Studio, and terminal for logs. But it's strange that it's not working, everything seems to be set up correctly.

Try to reach out Discord channel of RNN, the issue might be with it. And as you can see, it works well with rn-starter. The only difference between these projects is navigation library.

@kanzitelli hi!

i am pretty sure its how rnn-starter is set up, i am using RNN in another navigation app and it works just fine with Flipper , for now with rnn-starter i am using Reactotron to Trace Network logs and stuff but will be looking for a solution ASAP! and will raise a PR for it

Hello @rizwanatta!

That also might a reason, right. If you would find a solution, you are more than welcome to create a PR. Thank you!

hey @rizwanatta!

So it's working for me now. I don't know what exactly fixed the problem but it started working after updating all the packages and updating Flipper.

I will publish the update asap. But there is another issue with react-native-reanimated which crashes the app on reload action. The issue progress with Reanimated 2 is here.

Meantime, it would be great, if you could test this branch - https://github.com/kanzitelli/rnn-starter/tree/packages-update
