To Reproduce
- Integrate Flipper in Podfile
- Use flipper public release 0.120.0 or build directly from source
- RN iOS app doesn’t connect and I can’t use plugins.
What I’ve tried
- Remove all package patches
- Examine xcode logs (nothing stands out)
- Examine idb logs (nothing stands out)
- Examined certs in
.flipper/certs(seem all right, no permission issues)
Environment
iOS: iOS 15 - iPhone 13 - Simulator RN: 0.65.1 RN-flipper: 0.120.0 Flipper: 0.120.0
