Summary: This PR fixes the crash mentioned [here](https://github.com/facebook/flipper/issues/1674#issuecomment-754402609) in the https://github.com/facebook/flipper/issues/1674 . The issue was that logging `NSLog(@"%@", [self valueForKey:@"_methodDescription"]);` in the swizzled network delegate class used to cause a crash. The cause of this was the nil `methodDescription.types` sent to `class_addMethod`. In the following change we do not add a method to the class which doesn't implement the selector, we will anyway listen for those events from the base NSURLSession class. Removing the `class_addMethod`, fixes both the issue mentioned [here](https://github.com/facebook/flipper/issues/1674#issuecomment-754402609) in https://github.com/facebook/flipper/issues/1674. This PR also fixes an issue where no network calls where logged in Flipper when the iOS version was 14, the reason was that the URLSessionResume task was not properly swizzled for 14. ## Changelog - Do not add a runtime method to the delegate which doesn't implement a responder - Fix swizzling logic of the URLSession task resume method for ios 14 Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/flipper/pull/1810 Test Plan: - I ran the sample app and checked that the network calls are logged. - I copy pasted the changes in RN project and verified that the issues mentioned in https://github.com/facebook/flipper/issues/1674 doesn't happen and also verified that the network calls being hit from JS and Native code gets logged in Flipper. Verified with IsolatedSwizzles.zip mentioned over [here](https://github.com/facebook/flipper/issues/1674#issuecomment-754726174). Also verified by copy pasting the code in the fresh RN project.

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 to improve Flipper. We are excited to see what you will build on this platform.

Please refer to our Getting Started guide to set up Flipper.
Requirements
- node >= 8
- yarn >= 1.5
- iOS developer tools (for developing iOS plugins)
- Android SDK and adb
Building from Source
Desktop
Running from source
git clone https://github.com/facebook/flipper.git
cd flipper/desktop
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
Provide either --mac, --win, --linux or any combination of them
to yarn build to build a release zip file for the given platform(s). E.g.
yarn build --mac --version $buildNumber
You can find the resulting artifact in the dist/ folder.
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
React Native SDK + Sample app
cd react-native/ReactNativeFlipperExample
yarn
yarn android
Note that the first 2 steps need to be done only once.
Alternatively, the app can be started on iOS by running yarn ios.
Troubleshooting
Older yarn versions might show an error / hang with the message 'Waiting for the other yarn instance to finish'. If that happens, run the command yarn first separately in the directory react-native/react-native-flipper.
