The native module for Flipper seems unavailable.

[nikoden-io]

🐛 Bug Report

After installing, v 0.171.1, got a warning message "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."
Flipper plugins are not working anymore, downgrade react-native-flipper version to 0.162.0 fix the issue but disabled updates for newest versions.

To Reproduce

1. Create RN project
2. yarn add react-native-flipper
3. Install "redux-debugger" plugin for example
4. Launch app on iOS (simulator or device) and Flipper 0.171.1
5. Flipper plugins don't work

Environment

Flipper desktop: 0.171.1
RN 0.68.2
react-native-flipper 0.171.1
redux-flipper 2.0.1

I'm having the same error,

Flipper desktop: 0.171.1
RN: 0.68.2
react-native-flipper: 0.171.1
redux-flipper: 2.0.1

Same thing. Tried several redux-debugger plugins:

Flipper desktop: 0.171.1
RN: 0.66.4
react-native-flipper: 0.171.1
redux-flipper: 2.0.1

This is happening to me without any plugins:

RN: 0.67.4
react-native-flipper: 0.171.1
Flipper: 0.171.1

The error is "right" in that Flipper is NOT listed in the NativeModules. I'm digging further to see if I can see anything, but the Flipper initialization code seems to run fine, but NativeModules doesn't get modified.

More detail - after yarn-updating to 171, after running pod install, there is NO pod in Podfile.lock for react-native-flipper. 0.162.0 will add an entry. It's not clear to me exactly how this resolution happens

Quoting #4265: Resolving #3859 led to breaking changes in react-native-flipper which made it incompatible with react-natvie < 0.69.

As a result, we had to make a hard decision of supporting future react-native-flipper updates only for react-native 0.69+. Please, upgrade your react-native to 0.69+. If you want to keep using react-native < 0.69, please, keep using react-native-flipper 0.162
I wan to highlight that you still can use new versions of Flipper itself! For instance, you should be able to run react-native-flipper@0.162 with Flipper@0.171.1.

Module was compiled with an incompatible version of Kotlin. The binary version of its metadata is 1.9.0, expected version is 1.7.1. How to fix this compliation error.
