Expo 47 with Hermes build?

[GollyJer]

Hey. I'm now on MacOS and thought I'd try tackling getting Flipper working again.
It makes me want to cry every time. 😛

Three questions...

With an iOS Hermes build I'm getting...

Plugin 'Hermes Debugger (RN)' is unavailable
Device plugin 'Hermes Debugger (RN)' is not supported by the selected device 'iPhone 14 Pro Max' (iOS).

Is debugging Hermes builds currently possible?

Is it possible for Flipper on macOS to see a physical Android device? If so I can't figure it out.

Is Flipper even capable of what I'm trying to do???

Ideally I have hermes builds, am able to use...

• Hermes Debugger
• React DevTools
• Redux Debugger

Should I give up on this dream?
How are you guys debugging affectively with Expo?

Here's my package.json

"expo": "47.0.8",
"react-native-flipper": "0.157.0",
"expo-community-flipper": "47.0.0",

and it works for me paired with physical devices & iOS simulator & android emulator. Share your package.json I will try to help :P.

Also try starting metro with expo start --force-manifest-type=classic

Thanks @Nsquik. Are you using jsEngine: 'hermes' ?

Hermes debugging should be possible now as of SDK47. Here's a config setup that's working

Is it possible for Flipper on macOS to see a physical Android device? If so I can't figure it out.

I've gone through so many adb hoops that I've given up on OSX => Flipper => Physical Android. Instead I use either a windows machine or on-device logging for specific issues on Android devices themselves.

Should I give up on this dream?

Every time I do a react-native update I die a little inside. 🫠 Although I also understand the pain of fighting with Flipper just for the privilege of fighting with your code.

Thanks @jakobo I'll give it a shot the next time I get a chance. 👍

@GollyJer wanted to let you know that with SDK 48, we're officially a part of the build-properties plugin. Hopefully that marks the end of Flipper + Hermes woes :D

[GollyJer]

Sounds good! I'll give it a try again. 👍
