FlipperKit cocoapod versions missing for latest releases (0.176.0, 0.176.1 & 0.177.0)

[liamjones]

🐛 Bug Report

I was following the docs to update an RN app to use the latest version of Flipper: https://fbflipper.com/docs/getting-started/react-native/#using-the-latest-flipper-sdk

The docs list 0.176.1 in the instructions as the latest version, which is correct. However, while the maven artifact exists for 0.176.1, the FlipperKit cocoapod does not: https://cocoapods.org/pods/FlipperKit

To Reproduce

Set Flipper to 0.176.1 in an RN project:

    :flipper_configuration => FlipperConfiguration.enabled(["Debug"], { 'Flipper' => '0.176.1' }),

Environment

RN 0.69.7
Flipper 0.176.1

Edit: also applies to the newly released 0.177.0

[Gerlison]

In the doc you linked, says that React Native >= 0.69 Flipper version has to be 0.159.0

You can use the latest version on the Android, and just refer to the Pod 0.159.0 on iOS

[liamjones]

@Gerlison Wait... You can only use the newest versions of flipper (e.g. 0.176.1) on older react-native (less than 0.69.0)? 😕

[liamjones]

This also seems to disagree with the statement above it on that page:

Latest version of Flipper requires react-native 0.69+! If you use react-native < 0.69.0, please, downgrade react-native-flipper to 0.162.0 (see this GitHub issue for details).

[Gerlison]

@liamjones I just tried to install the newest version (0.176.1) on my project. Updated package.json and Podfile to that version. When I tried to pod install --repo-update, I got the same error as yours. Then, I downgraded Podfile version to the version indicated on the screenshot I sent you, but kept the latest on Android and package.json.

Didnt build the ios to try it yet, actualy. But solved the issue of installing the pods for me.

Seeing the same problem. Sticking with 0.175.0

[kepop1]

Same issue on my side. Running React Native 0.70.6 and Flipper 0.176.1 for iOS / Android. Android runs fine, no warnings, but iOS has the warning even with running the usual pod install --repo-update etc. This is with a fresh Podfile.lock being generated as well.

I wonder why https://cocoapods.org/pods/FlipperKit doesn't have the 0.176.1 version pushed to it?

Copy of the warning:

The native module for Flipper seems unavailable. Please verify that `react-native-flipper` is installed as yarn dependency to your project and, for iOS, that `pod install` is run in the `ios` directory.

For what it's worth, Flipper still works fine despite the warning 🤷

[Gerlison]

@markholland @kepop1 Despite this is only a warning and android is working fine, I faced some errors on iOS when using a version greater than 0.159.0. The main problem was the Network plugin. It stopped working on iOS. After I downgraded back to 0.159.0, the plugin was fixed.

If that doesn't apply to your projetcts, it's fine then. :)

Any updates on this? Are the latest supported version of Flipper for React-Native v.0.159.0?

[nikoden-io]

Same issue for me, 0.176.0 is founded by Cocoapods but not the most recent updates.

EDIT: regarding the version number specidied for RN, there must be a typo as the maximum version for RN<=0.69 is 0.162.0 and you need RN 0.70+ for latest versions

[notjosh]

The CocoaPods publishing has failed for the last few versions (here), each of them after six (!) hours of trying.

[adamsinnott]

This is still an issue. There is no documentation showing this and finding why its not working is tricky and time consuming. Additionally 0.176.0 is not present. The latest package present is 0.175.0.

Was a header removed by mistake?
