Summary: This diff creates a sample React Native project (based on the 0.62-rc.0 template). This example is created like: (Documenting this here as in the future this might be easier than upgrading the project itself) 1. Run `npx react-native init ReactNativeFlipperExample --version 0.62.0-rc.0` 2. Follow the installation steps to enable Flipper, that is, call `initializeFlipper(this, getReactNativeHost().getReactInstanceManager());` at the end of the `onCreate` method in `MainApplication.java` 3. Put `FlipperTicTacToe` in the root of the project, and call it from `App.js` as a component 4. install `react-native-flipper` as dependency 5. install `relative-deps` as dev dependency, and set it up as shown in `package.json`. This tool make sure that we build and test this project against the version of react-native-flipper in this repository, rather than against the one on NPM. 6. removed some stuff, like tests and linting, which is just in the way in this repo This PR does not support iOS, as Flipper + RN iOS is still broken in 0.62.0-rc.0, and the current version of react-native-flipper doesn't support iOS yet either. Documentation on how to set up Flipper in general is not part of this Diff _N.B. since this is a **public** project, to be visible and runnable by our OSS community, the build setup is kept plain, vanilla, react-native, and **not** wired up to our normal / internal build processes. This is also the reason that lint suggestions beyond the license headers have been ignored. If any others should be applied, it is probably the official react native template that requires updating_ Reviewed By: passy Differential Revision: D19449295 fbshipit-source-id: 2aeb6044f8dd01f09a95350c84fff2419d685a65

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.

Getting started
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
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.
