Summary: This is fairly experimental. The test passes, but I don't know how stable it will be when litho changes for example. However, it's easy to exclude specific attributes from the hierarchy, so maybe we can iterate if it breaks at first. It just takes a snapshot of the layout hierarchy from headless flipper, and compares it to it's known one. To run it: `cd headless-tests && DEVICE=emulator-5554 yarn test` while you have the sample app running on an emulator. To update the snapshots, just add `-u` to the end of that command.

Mobile development
Flipper aims to be your number one companion for mobile app development on iOS and Android. Therefore, we provide a bunch of useful tools including a log viewer, interactive layout inspector, and network inspector.
Extending Flipper
Flipper is built as a platform. In addition to using the tools already included, you can create your own plugins to visualize and debug data from your mobile apps. Flipper takes care of sending data back and forth, calling functions, and listening for events on the mobile app.
Contributing to Flipper
Both Flipper's desktop app and native mobile SDKs are open-source and MIT licensed. This enables you to see and understand how we are building plugins, and of course join the community and help improve Flipper. We are excited to see what you will build on this platform.

Building from Source
Desktop
Running from source
git clone https://github.com/facebook/flipper.git
cd flipper
yarn
yarn start
NOTE: If you're on Windows, you need to use Yarn 1.5.1 until this issue is resolved.
Building standalone application
yarn build --mac --version $buildNumber
iOS SDK + Sample App
cd iOS/Sample
rm -f Podfile.lock
pod install --repo-update
open Sample.xcworkspace
<Run app from xcode>
You can omit --repo-update to speed up the installation, but watch out as you may be building against outdated dependencies.
Android SDK + Sample app
Start up an android emulator and run the following in the project root:
./gradlew :sample:installDebug
