[Android] Device plugin 'Hermes Debugger (RN)' is not supported by the selected device

🐛 Bug Report

I can’t get Hermes debugger working - it is unavailable. Got "Device plugin ‘Hermes Debugger (RN)’ is not supported by the selected device". Created multiple emulators - nothing.

Other plugins like Databases and Layout work.

How can device not support the plugin?

To Reproduce

custom metro port: 8082 enableHermes: true FLIPPER_VERSION=0.156.0

Initialization:

public class ReactNativeFlipper {
    public static void initializeFlipper(Context context, 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());

        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();
    }
}

app/build.gradle

    // INIT https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-template-typescript/blob/main/template/android/app/build.gradle
    debugImplementation("com.facebook.flipper:flipper:${FLIPPER_VERSION}") {
        exclude group:'com.facebook.fbjni'
    }
    debugImplementation("com.facebook.flipper:flipper-network-plugin:${FLIPPER_VERSION}") {
        exclude group:'com.facebook.flipper'
        exclude group:'com.squareup.okhttp3', module:'okhttp'
    }

Environment

1. Emulators with api 31 and 33, arm64-v8a
2. Flipper 0.157.0
3. deps:

"react-native": "0.67.2",

devDeps:

"react-native-flipper": "0.157.0",
"react-native-performance": "3.1.1",
"react-native-performance-flipper-reporter": "3.0.0",

Using custom port for metro 8082.

And also there should be a proper message why plugin is not available, but not device not supported !!!

Flipper is a pure pain 💩

Same here. I just want to start the sample project of Reanimted and debug it. But Flipper tell me: "Device plugin ‘Hermes Debugger (RN)’ is not supported by the selected device ‘sdk_gphone_x86_64_arm64’ (Android)."

The strange thing is that Flipper’s log outputs. 4 plugin(s) were loaded in legacy mode. Hermes Debugger (RN) (id: Hermesdebuggerrn)

It looks like Flipper has loaded Hermes Debugger plugin correctly.
