Summary: This bundles up the Flipper Server in a Mac App Bundle which is identically in shape to a regular Desktop bundle. That means we can swap them out transparently without having to keep the layout in sync with Flipper Launcher. It bundles nodeJS binary which we can later also provide for aarch64.

Flipper Desktop
This folder contains everything to run the Flipper 'Desktop', that is, the UI which you use to interact with the device / app under debug.
Packages provided here:
- flipper-common: utilities & types shared between client, server, flipper-plugin
- flipper-server-core: all device & client management goes in here. Basically flipper's backend
- flipper-ui-core: all UI goes in here, as far as it doesn't depend on Electron
- flipper-ui-electron: the Electron app, will load server-core and ui-core, and glue them together, providing implementations for some electron * specific stuff like dialgos
- flipper-server: A node process hosting flipper-server-core, that can be connected to over websockets. And probably can serve a browser version of the UI as well.
- flipper-ui-browser: thin wrapper around flipper-ui-core, providing some browser specific behavior / stubs.
- flipper-dump: (might remove later), but want to hack a quick and dirt flipper dump in here, as alternative way to test flipper-server-core.
- flipper-plugin: The flipper SDK used by plugins. Exposes all API's that can be used by plugins
- pkg: CLI tool to manage building flipper plugins
- pkg-lib
- plugin-lib
- babel-transformer
- doctor
- eslint-plugin-flipper
