…2.5. Following the outlined solution for projects using RN v0.63, in facebook/react-native#31480. The "properly clean your caches" step didn't seem to be necessary for me, but possibly that's different between environments. Done without looking for breaking changes (there could be a lot between Flipper 0.54.0 and 0.75.1) because we don't use Flipper yet (that's zulip#4255) and we don't have anything like a Flipper config file for iOS.

Once we're on React Native v0.62 (#3782), we'll be able to use Flipper, a new developer tool.
There will likely be several quirks to work through (or around); the biggest, probably is that Flipper doesn't work with physical iOS devices yet.
To get it working on an iOS simulator, I followed the instructions in this error message:
When I went to follow Facebook's installation instructions, I found that not one but two components had to be installed; they recommended using Homebrew for one and pip3 for the other. (The actual command they give is
pip3.6butpip3worked for me, and I don't know how to getpip3.6or if it's even a thing.)For Android, it was saying that my value at
$ANDROID_HOMEwas/opt/android_sdk, and that it didn't find the Android SDK at that path. The first part just wasn't true; runningecho $ANDROID_HOMEtold me what the actual value was. I pasted that output into the Flipper settings, as was recommended in facebook/flipper#667 (comment), and it started working.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
