Flipper: Idb flipper error for real device iOS testing

[dayze]

🐛 Bug Report

When I want to debug my real iOS device, I got this message

To Reproduce

brew tap facebook/fb
brew install idb-companion
sudo pip3 install fb-idb

which idb return /usr/local/bin/idb

Finally idb list-targets find my device

Environment

Mac OS 10.15.4
Flipper 0.46.0
iPhone 11 pro 13.3.1
React-native 0.62.2

I cannot use it for real device too, ip6s+

Please bear with us, we're still ironing out some issues with physical iOS device support at the moment, in particular, today's release contains one fix, and there's another fix in idb on the way that should help.

@jknoxville Quick one, is this fixed yet?
Last time I tried, it's still giving this error and I had to rollback to the older Flipper version which is 0.45.

I'm facing the same issue, searching I've found that on iOS, only simulators are supported though.

https://fbflipper.com/docs/troubleshooting/#known-incompatibilities

Physical iOS devices. Currently on iOS, only simulators are supported (Tracking Issue).

I am facing a crash on device but not on simulator, after couple of seconds when app is executed , following are my crash details:

Following are my Environment Details:
1.MAC 10.15.6 (19G73)
2.Device iPhone 8 iOS 13.6

1. React Native Version 0.63.5

Same issue. Last comment was two months ago? Any progress on this? A react-native debugger that can't be used on a physical device is not great.

what is the status of this?

The info here is outdated, we do support physical iOS devices. I'll go over
the docs and update them somewhere in the coming days.

Physical ios devices are currently supported if

1. you have installed idb https://fbidb.io/docs/installation
2. the app you have installed is build and installed from source.

Currently device logs aren't supported yet, but we hope to address in the upcoming release.

[kleavjames]

followed all the instructions in the docs, device is connected to the flipper, but the app is not selected.

[FFFang]

still can not connect

Hi folks, adding more comments here only adds noise and message like "doesn't work" are completely inactionable for us. I just verified that https://github.com/facebook/flipper/tree/master/react-native/ReactNativeFlipperExample works out of the box, which is the case, so for more issues please file a fresh issue, including device & flipper logs, screenshots and the steps you took. Always make sure you are running a debug build as documented here: https://reactnative.dev/docs/running-on-device
