Unsupported DevTools backend version
See original GitHub issue🐛 Bug Report
After upgrading to 0.87.0 (50.0.0) I get the below error when opening DevTools (I’m unsure why it is using an older version that is not found on my system)
DevTools is working fine standalone react-devtools@4.13.0

Becomes non-interactable
Following the suggestion to run npm i -g react-devtools@^4.13.0 does not solve the problem.

@tolidevs Since you are using zsh, your command is failing because you need to wrap the package name with quotes:
npm install -g "react-devtools@<4.11.0"The next release will support switching between the embedded and globally installed version of the react-devtools, so that Flipper can be compatible with multiple versions of React Native
