@KaulSalil I made a PR on your sample repository to show where the issue may be. You may not be wrapping your app in a RealmProvider as noted by the @realm/react package which may be interfering with the Realms being passed to the plugin component. You will also need to make sure to have both react-native-flipper and realm-flipper-plugin-device installed. i.e. it should end up being something like

// TaskContext being createRealmContext({schema: [Task]});
import TaskContext, {Task} from './DBSchema';
import RealmPlugin from 'realm-flipper-plugin-device';
...
function MainScreen() {
  const {useRealm, useQuery, RealmProvider} = TaskContext;
  const realm = useRealm();
  ...
  return (
       <RealmProvider>
               <RealmPlugin realms=[realm] />
               {/* Rest of the content... */}
       </RealmProvider>
  );
}

This worked for me with 1.1.0. Note you will need to run cd ios && pod install to make the native libraries work. You can refer to the getting started guide for the Flipper Plugin although the example there does not use @realm/react yet.

I would create a fresh new React Native project, add realm and a test schema, and get that up and running. Then add the flipper plugin and get that up and running.

Then you can compare your project code with the clean version to better pinpoint the issue.
