NO APPLICATION SELECTED for React Native iOS app after following troubleshooting guide

🐛 Bug Report

NO APPLICATION SELECTED after following the RN setup guide and then the Troubleshooting Issues

(I’ve spent a few days attempting to fix this including upgrading macOS, Xcode and React Native following the React Native Upgrade Helper.)

Everything seems to be working besides the app itself connecting.

use_flipper!({'Flipper' => '0.122.0'})

To Reproduce

Follow setup and troubleshooting guide. Run the app on an ios simulator via Xcode using a scheme with Run set to a Build Configuration of Debug.

Environment

macOS: 12.0.1 Xcode: 13.1 Flipper: 0.122.0

Some relevant packages: “react”: “17.0.2”, “react-native”: “0.65.1”, “react-native-flipper”: “^0.122.0”, “redux”: “^4.1.0”, “redux-flipper”: “^2.0.1”, “redux-persist”: “^6.0.0”,

@mweststrate Have solved this. I had never done the Manual iOS setup. I guess it never seemed clear that it was necessary since practically everything worked correctly with the Automatic Setup.

Manual Setup https://fbflipper.com/docs/getting-started/react-native-ios/

I used the Flipper code from React Native Hello World AppDelegate.m example: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/template/ios/HelloWorld/AppDelegate.m

Two takeaways

1. Perhaps add to the Troubleshooting doc to make sure that Manual iOS Setup was completed.
2. In the Manual iOS Setup manual mentioned above, perhaps clarify the language to make that installation more necessary. The title and description at the bottom of the Automatic Setup, make it seem like something that you would do if you weren’t doing the automatic setup.

Very excited to get some debugging with my shiny new Flipper debugger.

Thanks for all the great work you do!

Manually iOS setup should normally not needed. But things can get out of sync when bumping just the react-native version without using React Native’s upgrade tool
