Changelog

[General] [Added] Pass cachedSettingsStore to connectToDevTools to support persisted settings.

Android

  • This does not work with Android, because the Settings/Settings module is not implemented for Android. However, all calls to cachedSettingsStore are wrapped in try/catch blocks, so we're good — this will be implemented as a follow up.

# Summary
* This PR adds support for persisting certain settings to device
storage, allowing e.g. RN apps to properly patch the console when
restarted.
* The device storage APIs have signature `getConsolePatchSettings()` and
`setConsolePatchSettings(string)`, in iOS, are thin wrappers around the
`Library/Settings` turbomodule, and wrap a new TM that uses the `SharedPreferences` class in Android.
* Pass device storage getters/setters from RN to DevTools'
`connectToDevtools`. The setters are then used to populate values on
`window`. Later, the console is patched using these values.
* If we receive a notification from DevTools that the console patching
fields have been updated, we write values back to local storage.
* See react/react-native#34903
# How did you test this change?
Manual testing, `yarn run test-build-devtools`, `yarn run prettier`,
`yarn run flow dom`
## Manual testing setup:
### React DevTools Frontend
* Get the DevTools frontend in flipper:
* `nvm install -g react-devtools-core`, then replace that package with a
symlink to the local package
* enable "use globally installed devtools" in flipper
* yarn run start in react-devtools, etc. as well
### React DevTools Backend
* `yarn run build:backend` in react-devtools-core, then copy-paste that
file to the expo app's node_modules directory
### React Native
* A local version of React Native can be patched in by modifying an expo
app's package.json, as in `"react-native":
"rbalicki2/react-native#branch-name"`
# Versioning safety
* There are three versioned modules to worry about: react native, the
devtools frontend and the devtools backend.
* The react devtools backend checks for whether a `cachedSettingsStore`
is passed from react native. If not (e.g. if React Native is outdated),
then no behavior changes.
* The devtools backend reads the patched console values from the cached
settings store. However, if nothing has been stored, for example because
the frontend is outdated or has never synced its settings, then behavior
doesn't change.
* The devtools frontend sends no new messages. However, if it did send a
new message (e.g. "store this value at this key"), and the backend was
outdated, that message would be silently ignored.
