I have react-native application in which I am using port 8383 port (I CAN NOT use default port 8081) for metro bundler. While debugging app with Flipper it's showing most of the plugins like Hermes/react dev-tool etc are not available.
After reading documentation, I believe using correct port for flipper should resolve it. If there is any other solution please let me know.
how can I update metro port for Flipper Mac app?
It's not clear how to follow instructions from link https://fbflipper.com/docs/custom-ports/
In which directory should I execute commands provided in link above?
I tried running npx flipper-server --port 8383 in browser but it did not work either.
As 8081 port was not available, I had to update Metro bundler port to 8383. After this I was not able to use Flipper plugins as Flipper was still referring to old Metro bundler port.
To fix this I created alias in .bash_profile
alias FlipperApp='env METRO_SERVER_PORT=8383 FLIPPER_PORTS=8383 /Applications/Flipper.app/Contents/MacOS/Flipper'
another alternative for Flipper Mac app is to use flipper in browser.
alias FlipperWeb='env METRO_SERVER_PORT=8383 npx flipper-server'
To launch flipper just used new alias and it worked.
