In build.gradle, put this line:
releaseImplementation 'com.facebook.flipper:flipper-noop:0.86.0'
Try to build, and see this error:
Could not find com.facebook.flipper:flipper-noop:0.86.0.
Android Studio 4.1.3
I had the same problem. If I understand the shields on the README correctly, it looks like 0.86.0 hasn't been published to maven central yet?

I found I was able to use 0.85.0 just fine so intending to stick with that for now.
Sorry, I missed that the release for that one failed. 0.87 is out now.
