I am using both the Flipper and React Native Debugger on a React Native project.

I find JavaScript logging by React Native Debugger to be much richer given JSON formatting than Flipper (logs dumped as serialized strings). I however love the additional log tooling(especially for native logs) that Flipper provides.

Is it possible to setup choose the default Dev tool?

Opening the dev tools on the iOS simulator, all logs open with Flipper even if it was quit and the React Native Debugger was already open.

I have tried to configure a different port listened to by the debugger and dev tools but a flipper is still given the lead.

Has anyone tried to you both successfully?

Not tried but seems like this article can help you out:

Already given on React-Native official doc to setup default debugging tool.

If nothing messed up with your local setting then simple disabling can help.

  • Thank you @sidverma. However, disabling Flipper is not an option right now. It offers so much value with native debugging. I visited the docs first but I mostly got out changing ports. Couldn't work. – iamcastelli Feb 10 '22 at 07:11
