getting-started	Getting Started

Flipper helps you debug Android and iOS apps running in an emulator/simulator or connected physical development devices. Flipper consists of two parts:

• The desktop app
• The native mobile SDKs for Android and iOS

To use Flipper, you need to add the mobile SDK to your app.

Setup

Desktop app

The desktop part of Flipper doesn't need any particular setup. Simply download the latest build for Mac, Linux or Windows and launch it. In order to work properly, Flipper requires a working installation of the Android and (if where applicable) iOS development tools on your system, as well as the OpenSSL binary on your $PATH.

Once you start Flipper and launch an emulator/simulator or connect a device, you will already be able to see the device logs in Flipper. To see app specific data, you need to integrate our native SDKs with your app.

Setup your Android app

It's recommended that you add the following activity to the manifest, which can help diagnose integration issues and other problems:

<activity android:name="com.facebook.flipper.android.diagnostics.FlipperDiagnosticActivity"
        android:exported="true"/>

Flipper is distributed via JCenter. Add the dependencies to your build.gradle file. You should also explicitly depend on soloader instead of relying on transitive dependency resolution which is getting deprecated with Gradle 5.

We provide a "no-op" implementation of some oft-used Flipper interfaces you can use to make it easier to strip Flipper from your release builds.

repositories {
  jcenter()
}

dependencies {
  debugImplementation 'com.facebook.flipper:flipper:0.31.2'
  debugImplementation 'com.facebook.soloader:soloader:0.8.2'

  releaseImplementation 'com.facebook.flipper:flipper-noop:0.31.2'
}

Please note that our flipper-noop package provides a limited subset of the APIs provided by the flipper package and does not provide any plugin stubs. It is recommended that you keep all Flipper instantiation code in a separate build variant to ensure it doesn't accidentally make it into your production builds. Check out the sample app to see how to organise your Flipper initialization into debug and release variants.

Alternatively, have a look at the third-party flipper-android-no-op repository, which provides empty implementations for several Flipper plugins.

Now you can initialize Flipper in your Application's onCreate method, which involves initializing SoLoader (for loading the C++ part of Flipper) and starting a FlipperClient.

import com.facebook.flipper.android.AndroidFlipperClient;
import com.facebook.flipper.android.utils.FlipperUtils;
import com.facebook.flipper.core.FlipperClient;

public class MyApplication extends Application {

  @Override
  public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    SoLoader.init(this, false);

    if (BuildConfig.DEBUG && FlipperUtils.shouldEnableFlipper(this)) {
      final FlipperClient client = AndroidFlipperClient.getInstance(this);
      client.addPlugin(new InspectorFlipperPlugin(this, DescriptorMapping.withDefaults()));
      client.start();
    }
  }
}

Android Snapshots

Feeling adventurous? We publish Android snapshot releases directly off of master.

You can get the latest version by adding the Maven Snapshot repository to your sources and pointing to the most recent -SNAPSHOT version.

repositories {
  maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/' }
}

dependencies {
  debugImplementation 'com.facebook.flipper:flipper:0.31.3-SNAPSHOT'
  debugImplementation 'com.facebook.soloader:soloader:0.8.2'

  releaseImplementation 'com.facebook.flipper:flipper-noop:0.31.3-SNAPSHOT'
}

Setup your iOS app

We support both Swift and Objective-C for Flipper with CocoaPods as build and distribution mechanism. For CocoaPods 1.7+ following is the configuration.

CocoaPods

project 'MyApp.xcodeproj'
flipperkit_version = '0.31.2'

target 'MyApp' do
  platform :ios, '9.0'
  # use_framework!
  pod 'FlipperKit', '~>' + flipperkit_version
  pod 'FlipperKit/FlipperKitLayoutComponentKitSupport', '~>' + flipperkit_version
  pod 'FlipperKit/SKIOSNetworkPlugin', '~>' + flipperkit_version
  pod 'FlipperKit/FlipperKitUserDefaultsPlugin', '~>' + flipperkit_version

  # If you use `use_frameworks!` in your Podfile,
  # uncomment the below $static_framework array and also
  # the pre_install section.  This will cause Flipper and
  # it's dependencies to be built as a static library and all other pods to
  # be dynamic.
  # $static_framework = ['FlipperKit', 'Flipper', 'Flipper-Folly',
  #   'CocoaAsyncSocket', 'ComponentKit', 'Flipper-DoubleConversion',
  #   'Flipper-Glog', 'Flipper-PeerTalk', 'Flipper-RSocket', 'Yoga', 'YogaKit',
  #   'CocoaLibEvent', 'OpenSSL-Universal', 'boost-for-react-native']
  #
  # pre_install do |installer|
  #   Pod::Installer::Xcode::TargetValidator.send(:define_method, :verify_no_static_framework_transitive_dependencies) {}

  #       if $static_framework.include?(pod.name)
  #         def pod.build_type;
  #           Pod::Target::BuildType.static_library
  #         end
  #       end
  #     end
  # end

  # This post_install hook adds the -DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED=1 flag to OTHER_CFLAGS, necessary to expose Flipper classes in the header files
  post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
      if target.name == 'YogaKit'
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
          config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '4.1'
        end
      end
    end
    file_name = Dir.glob("*.xcodeproj")[0]
    app_project = Xcodeproj::Project.open(file_name)
    app_project.native_targets.each do |target|
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        cflags = config.build_settings['OTHER_CFLAGS'] || '$(inherited) '
        unless cflags.include? '-DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED=1'
          puts 'Adding -DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED=1 in OTHER_CFLAGS...'
          cflags << '-DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED=1'
        end
        config.build_settings['OTHER_CFLAGS'] = cflags
      end
      app_project.save
    end
    installer.pods_project.save
   end
end

project 'MyApp.xcodeproj'
flipperkit_version = '0.31.2'

target 'MyApp' do
  platform :ios, '9.0'

  pod 'FlipperKit', '~>' + flipperkit_version
  # Layout and network plugins are not yet supported for swift projects

  #         end
  #       end
  #     end
  # end


  # This post_install hook adds the -DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED flag to OTHER_SWIFT_FLAGS, necessary to build swift target
  post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
      if target.name == 'YogaKit'
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
          config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '4.1'
        end
      end
    end
    file_name = Dir.glob("*.xcodeproj")[0]
    app_project = Xcodeproj::Project.open(file_name)
    app_project.native_targets.each do |target|
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
          if (config.build_settings['OTHER_SWIFT_FLAGS'])
            unless config.build_settings['OTHER_SWIFT_FLAGS'].include? '-DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED'
              puts 'Adding -DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED ...'
              swift_flags = config.build_settings['OTHER_SWIFT_FLAGS']
              if swift_flags.split.last != '-Xcc'
                config.build_settings['OTHER_SWIFT_FLAGS'] << ' -Xcc'
              end
              config.build_settings['OTHER_SWIFT_FLAGS'] << ' -DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED'
            end
          else
            puts 'OTHER_SWIFT_FLAGS does not exist thus assigning it to `$(inherited) -Xcc -DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED`'
            config.build_settings['OTHER_SWIFT_FLAGS'] = '$(inherited) -Xcc -DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED'
          end
          app_project.save
        end
      end
      installer.pods_project.save
  end
end

You need to compile your project with the FB_SONARKIT_ENABLED=1 compiler flag. The above post_install hook adds this compiler flag to your project settings.

On the first run of pod install, FB_SONARKIT_ENABLED=1 may not be added in the "Build Settings" of your project, but in all the subsequent runs of pod install, the above post_install hook successfully adds the compiler flag. So before running your app, make sure that FB_SONARKIT_ENABLED=1 is present in OTHER_CFLAGS and OTHER_SWIFT_FLAGS for Objective-C and Swift projects respectively.

For pure Objective-C projects

For pure Objective-C projects, add the following things in your settings:

1. /usr/lib/swift as the first entry of the LD_RUNPATH_SEARCH_PATHS
2. Add the following in LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS

					"\"$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift/$(PLATFORM_NAME)\"",
					"\"$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/usr/lib/swift-5.0/$(PLATFORM_NAME)\"",	

This is done to overcome a bug with Xcode 11 which fails to compile swift code when bitcode is enabled. Flipper transitively depends on YogaKit which is written in Swift. More about this issue can be found here and here.

Install the dependencies by running pod install. You can now import and initialize Flipper in your AppDelegate.

#import <FlipperKit/FlipperClient.h>
#import <FlipperKitLayoutPlugin/FlipperKitLayoutPlugin.h>
#import <FlipperKitLayoutComponentKitSupport/FlipperKitLayoutComponentKitSupport.h>
#import <FlipperKitUserDefaultsPlugin/FKUserDefaultsPlugin.h>
#import <FlipperKitNetworkPlugin/FlipperKitNetworkPlugin.h>
#import <SKIOSNetworkPlugin/SKIOSNetworkAdapter.h>

@implementation AppDelegate

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  FlipperClient *client = [FlipperClient sharedClient];
  SKDescriptorMapper *layoutDescriptorMapper = [[SKDescriptorMapper alloc] initWithDefaults];
  [FlipperKitLayoutComponentKitSupport setUpWithDescriptorMapper: layoutDescriptorMapper];
  [client addPlugin: [[FlipperKitLayoutPlugin alloc] initWithRootNode: application
                                                 withDescriptorMapper: layoutDescriptorMapper]];

  [client addPlugin:[[FKUserDefaultsPlugin alloc] initWithSuiteName:nil]];
  [client addPlugin: [[FlipperKitNetworkPlugin alloc] initWithNetworkAdapter:[SKIOSNetworkAdapter new]]];
  [client start];
  ...
}
@end

import UIKit
import FlipperKit
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

  var window: UIWindow?


  func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    let client = FlipperClient.shared()
    let layoutDescriptorMapper = SKDescriptorMapper(defaults: ())
    FlipperKitLayoutComponentKitSupport.setUpWith(layoutDescriptorMapper)
    client?.add(FlipperKitLayoutPlugin(rootNode: application, with: layoutDescriptorMapper!))
    client?.start()
    return true
  }
}

Ready for takeoff

Finally, you need to add plugins to your Flipper client. Above we have only added the Layout Inspector plugin to get you started. See Network Plugin and Layout Inspector Plugin for information on how to add them, and also enable Litho or ComponentKit support. You can check the sample apps in the GitHub repo for examples of integrating other plugins.

Setup your React Native app

Inspired by a blog post by Ram N.

This version of the tutorial is written against React Native 0.61.5.

You can find versions of this guide for older versions of React Native here.

Integrating Flipper with React Native is a bit different than with a native app.

Android

First, add this line to your android/gradle.properties:

# On Android, React Native currently has issues with higher versions
FLIPPER_VERSION=0.23.4

It's recommended that you add the following activity to your AndroidManifest.xml, which can help diagnose integration issues and other problems:

<activity android:name="com.facebook.flipper.android.diagnostics.FlipperDiagnosticActivity"
        android:exported="true"/>

Flipper is distributed via JCenter. Add the dependencies to your build.gradle file. You should also explicitly depend on soloader instead of relying on transitive dependency resolution which is getting deprecated with Gradle 5.

We provide a "no-op" implementation of some oft-used Flipper interfaces you can use to make it easier to strip Flipper from your release builds. See instructions in Setup your Android app.

android/app/build.gradle

android {
  packagingOptions {
    ...
    // This line is required to prevent a build failure due to duplicate libs
    pickFirst "lib/armeabi-v7a/libc++_shared.so"
    pickFirst "lib/arm64-v8a/libc++_shared.so"
    pickFirst "lib/x86/libc++_shared.so"
    pickFirst "lib/x86_64/libc++_shared.so"
  }
}

dependencies {
  ...
  implementation 'com.facebook.soloader:soloader:0.6.0+'

  debugImplementation("com.facebook.flipper:flipper:${FLIPPER_VERSION}") {
    exclude group:'com.facebook.yoga'
    exclude group:'com.facebook.flipper', module: 'fbjni'
    exclude group:'com.facebook.litho', module: 'litho-annotations'
    exclude group:'com.squareup.okhttp3'
  }
}

Now, we create a new file: android/app/src/debug/java/com/yourappname/ReactNativeFlipper.java. (Replace the yourappname namespace with your app name)

These are the suggested plugins integrations:

• Layout Inspector
• Network
• Databases
• Images
• Shared Preferences
• Crash Reporter
• React devtools

package com.yourappname; // <--- use your own namespace, same as before!

import android.content.Context;
import com.facebook.flipper.android.AndroidFlipperClient;
import com.facebook.flipper.android.utils.FlipperUtils;
import com.facebook.flipper.core.FlipperClient;
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.crashreporter.CrashReporterPlugin;
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.databases.DatabasesFlipperPlugin;
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.fresco.FrescoFlipperPlugin;
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.inspector.DescriptorMapping;
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.inspector.InspectorFlipperPlugin;
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.network.FlipperOkhttpInterceptor;
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.network.NetworkFlipperPlugin;
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.react.ReactFlipperPlugin;
import com.facebook.flipper.plugins.sharedpreferences.SharedPreferencesFlipperPlugin;
import com.facebook.react.ReactInstanceManager;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactContext;
import com.facebook.react.modules.network.NetworkingModule;
import okhttp3.OkHttpClient;

public class ReactNativeFlipper {

  public static void initializeFlipper(Context context) {
    ReactNativeFlipper.initializeFlipper(context, null);
  }

  public static void initializeFlipper(Context context, final ReactInstanceManager reactInstanceManager) {
    if (!FlipperUtils.shouldEnableFlipper(context)) {
      return;
    }
    final FlipperClient client = AndroidFlipperClient.getInstance(context);

    client.addPlugin(new InspectorFlipperPlugin(context, DescriptorMapping.withDefaults()));
    client.addPlugin(new ReactFlipperPlugin());
    client.addPlugin(new DatabasesFlipperPlugin(context));
    client.addPlugin(new SharedPreferencesFlipperPlugin(context));
    client.addPlugin(CrashReporterPlugin.getInstance());

    final NetworkFlipperPlugin networkFlipperPlugin = new NetworkFlipperPlugin();
    NetworkingModule.setCustomClientBuilder(
        new NetworkingModule.CustomClientBuilder() {
          @Override
          public void apply(OkHttpClient.Builder builder) {
            builder.addNetworkInterceptor(new FlipperOkhttpInterceptor(networkFlipperPlugin));
          }
        });
    client.addPlugin(networkFlipperPlugin);
    client.start();

    // Fresco Plugin needs to ensure that ImagePipelineFactory is initialized
    // Hence we run if after all native modules have been initialized
    ReactContext reactContext = reactInstanceManager == null ? null : reactInstanceManager.getCurrentReactContext();
    if (reactContext == null) {
      reactInstanceManager.addReactInstanceEventListener(
          new ReactInstanceManager.ReactInstanceEventListener() {
            @Override
            public void onReactContextInitialized(ReactContext reactContext) {
              reactInstanceManager.removeReactInstanceEventListener(this);
              reactContext.runOnNativeModulesQueueThread(
                  new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                      client.addPlugin(new FrescoFlipperPlugin());
                    }
                  });
            }
          });
    } else {
      client.addPlugin(new FrescoFlipperPlugin());
    }
  }
}

Now you can initialize Flipper in your Application's onCreate method, which involves initializing SoLoader (for loading the C++ part of Flipper) and starting a FlipperClient.

For this, we edit the android/app/src/main/java/com/yourappname/MainApplication.java file.

package com.yourappname;// <--- use your own namespace, same as before!

import ...
import com.facebook.react.ReactInstanceManager; // <---- add this import

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
  ...

  @Override
  public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    SoLoader.init(this, /* native exopackage */ false);
    initializeFlipper(this, getReactNativeHost().getReactInstanceManager()); // <---- start flipper integration
  }
}

In the same file, modify the generated initializeFlipper method to

  private static void initializeFlipper(Context context, ReactInstanceManager reactInstanceManager) {
    if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
      try {
        /*
         We use reflection here to pick up the class that initializes Flipper,
        since Flipper library is not available in release mode
        */
        Class<?> aClass = Class.forName("com.yourappname.ReactNativeFlipper"); // <--- use your own namespace, same as before!
        aClass.getMethod("initializeFlipper", Context.class, ReactInstanceManager.class).invoke(null, context, reactInstanceManager);
      } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
      } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
      } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
      } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
    }
  }

Finally, open the Flipper desktop app, and run yarn android in your terminal.

iOS

We support both Swift and Objective-C for Flipper with CocoaPods as build and distribution mechanism. For CocoaPods 1.7+, follow this configuration.

If you can't build your app after adding Flipper, you may need to configure the Swift compiler. To do so, adding an empty Swift file in your project is the easiest way.

CocoaPods

ios/Podfile

platform :ios, '9.0'

def flipper_pods()
  flipperkit_version = '0.31.2'
  pod 'FlipperKit', '~>' + flipperkit_version, :configuration => 'Debug'
  pod 'FlipperKit/FlipperKitLayoutPlugin', '~>' + flipperkit_version, :configuration => 'Debug'
  pod 'FlipperKit/SKIOSNetworkPlugin', '~>' + flipperkit_version, :configuration => 'Debug'
  pod 'FlipperKit/FlipperKitUserDefaultsPlugin', '~>' + flipperkit_version, :configuration => 'Debug'
  pod 'FlipperKit/FlipperKitReactPlugin', '~>' + flipperkit_version, :configuration => 'Debug'
end

# Post Install processing for Flipper
def flipper_post_install(installer)
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    if target.name == 'YogaKit'
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        config.build_settings['SWIFT_VERSION'] = '4.1'
      end
    end
  end
  file_name = Dir.glob("*.xcodeproj")[0]
  app_project = Xcodeproj::Project.open(file_name)
  app_project.native_targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
      cflags = config.build_settings['OTHER_CFLAGS'] || '$(inherited) '
      unless cflags.include? '-DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED=1'
        puts 'Adding -DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED=1 in OTHER_CFLAGS...'
        cflags << '-DFB_SONARKIT_ENABLED=1'
      end
      config.build_settings['OTHER_CFLAGS'] = cflags
    end
    app_project.save
  end
  installer.pods_project.save
end

target 'your-app-name' do
  ...


  # Replace the existing yoga import with the following (adding modular_headers):
  pod 'Yoga', :path => '../node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga', :modular_headers => true

  ...
  use_native_modules!

  # For enabling Flipper.
  # Note that if you use_framework!, flipper will not work.
  # Disable these lines if you are doing use_framework!
  flipper_pods()
  post_install do |installer|
    flipper_post_install(installer)
  end
end

Install the dependencies by running cd ios && pod install. You can now import and initialize Flipper in your ios/your-app-name/AppDelegate.m.

The code below enables the following integrations:

• Layout Inspector
• Network
• Shared Preferences
• Crash Reporter

class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

  func application(
      _ application: UIApplication,
      didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
      launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
    ) -> Bool {
    initializeFlipper(with: application)
    ...
  }

  private func initializeFlipper(with application: UIApplication) {
    #if DEBUG

      let client = FlipperClient.shared()
      let layoutDescriptorMapper = SKDescriptorMapper(defaults: ())
      FlipperKitLayoutComponentKitSupport.setUpWith(layoutDescriptorMapper)
      client?.add(FlipperKitLayoutPlugin(rootNode: application, with: layoutDescriptorMapper!))
      client?.add(FKUserDefaultsPlugin(suiteName: nil))
      client?.add(FlipperKitReactPlugin())
      client?.add(FlipperKitNetworkPlugin(networkAdapter: SKIOSNetworkAdapter()))
      client?.add(FlipperReactPerformancePlugin.sharedInstance())
      client?.start()
    #endif
    #endif
  }
}

Lastly, open the Flipper desktop app, and run yarn ios in your terminal.

• If you do not use CocoaPods as a dependency management tool then currently there is no way to integrate FlipperKit other than manually including all the dependencies and building it.
• For Android, Flipper works with both emulators and physical devices connected through USB. However on iOS, we don't yet support physical devices.
