Using 'expo-community-flipper' plugin doesn't work

[firasrg]

Hello!

I'm using Expo Manager SDK 45, and actually trying to debug my app with development build and Flipper.

I've closely followed the guide on Expo docs website. Now, when I run the app, I get the following error :

Cannot find module 'expo/config-plugins'

I follow the error which is in a file called:

..\node_modules\expo-community-flipper\build\withFlipper.ios.js:24:26

and saw this :

const config_plugins_1 = require("expo/config-plugins");

I think the require() here is wrong, it should be

const config_plugins_1 = require("@expo/config-plugins");

There is another on in ..\node_modules\expo-community-flipper\build\withFlipper.android.js.

Thanks in advance

Hello!

You should force the version ^46.0.2 in your package.json for it to work!

If you do npx expo install expo-community-flipper, it will just install version 47.0.0 which is compatible with Expo SDK 47 but not with 45 or 46 😊
