:::note These details within this page are for people manually adding Flipper to a React Native 0.62+ app. This should only be necessary if you have an existing app that cannot be upgraded with the React Native Upgrade tool. :::
If using React Native 0.63 or later, your ios/Podfile should look like this:
platform :ios, '10.0'
require_relative '../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods'
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'
target 'your-app-name' do
config = use_native_modules!
use_react_native!(path: config['reactNativePath'])
# Enables Flipper.
#
# Note that if you have use_frameworks! enabled, Flipper will not work and
# you should disable these next few lines.
use_flipper!({'Flipper' => '0.58.0'}) # should match the version of your Flipper client app
post_install do |installer|
flipper_post_install(installer)
end
end
Install the dependencies by running cd ios && pod install then continue to Initialization.
In version 0.62, the setup includes a bit more code (which was moved to a helper in 0.63).
Add all of the code below to your ios/Podfile:
platform :ios, '9.0'
def flipper_pods()
flipperkit_version = '0.273.0' # should match the version of your Flipper client app
pod 'FlipperKit', '~>' + flipperkit_version, :configuration => 'Debug'
pod 'FlipperKit/FlipperKitLayoutPlugin', '~>' + flipperkit_version, :configuration => 'Debug'
pod 'FlipperKit/SKIOSNetworkPlugin', '~>' + flipperkit_version, :configuration => 'Debug'
pod 'FlipperKit/FlipperKitUserDefaultsPlugin', '~>' + flipperkit_version, :configuration => 'Debug'
pod 'FlipperKit/FlipperKitReactPlugin', '~>' + flipperkit_version, :configuration => 'Debug'
end
# Post Install processing for Flipper
def flipper_post_install(installer)
file_name = Dir.glob("*.xcodeproj")[0]
app_project = Xcodeproj::Project.open(file_name)
app_project.native_targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
cflags = config.build_settings['OTHER_CFLAGS'] || '$(inherited) '
unless cflags.include? '-DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED=1'
puts 'Adding -DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED=1 in OTHER_CFLAGS...'
cflags << '-DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED=1'
end
config.build_settings['OTHER_CFLAGS'] = cflags
end
app_project.save
end
installer.pods_project.save
end
target 'your-app-name' do
...
# Replace the existing yoga import with the following (adding modular_headers):
pod 'Yoga', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga', :modular_headers => true
...
use_native_modules!
# For enabling Flipper.
# Note that if you use_framework!, flipper will not work.
# Disable these lines if you are doing use_framework!
flipper_pods()
post_install do |installer|
flipper_post_install(installer)
end
end
Install the dependencies by running cd ios && pod install. You can now import and initialize Flipper in your AppDelegate.
The code below enables the following integrations:
If using React Native 0.68 or later, your AppDelegate should include
...
#import <React/RCTAppSetupUtils.h>
RCTAppSetupUtils takes care of initializing Flipper and the integrations mentioned above.
<Tabs defaultValue="ios" values={[{ label: 'iOS', value: 'ios'}, { label: 'Swift', value: 'swift'}]}> <TabItem value="ios">

Lastly, open the Flipper desktop app, and run yarn ios in your terminal.
