SDK Setup React Native SDK Sentry React Native SDK Opinionated wizard that scans your React Native or Expo project and guides you through complete Sentry setup — error monitoring, tracing, profiling, session replay, logging, and more. Invoke This Skill When User asks to "add Sentry to React Native" or "set up Sentry" in an RN or Expo app User wants error monitoring, tracing, profiling, session replay, or logging in React Native User mentions @sentry/react-native , mobile error tracking, or Sentry for Expo User wants to monitor native crashes, ANRs, or app hangs on iOS/Android Note: SDK versions and APIs below reflect current Sentry docs at time of writing ( @sentry/react-native ≥6.0.0, minimum recommended ≥8.0.0). Always verify against docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/ before implementing. Phase 1: Detect Run these commands to understand the project before making any recommendations:
Detect project type and existing Sentry
cat package.json | grep -E '"(react-native|expo|@expo|@sentry/react-native|sentry-expo)"'
Distinguish Expo managed vs bare vs vanilla RN
ls app.json app.config.js app.config.ts 2
/dev/null cat app.json 2
/dev/null | python3 -c "import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print('Expo managed' if 'expo' in d else 'Bare/Vanilla')" 2
/dev/null
Check Expo SDK version (important: Expo SDK 50+ required for @sentry/react-native)
cat package.json | grep '"expo"'
Detect navigation library
grep -E '"(@react-navigation/native|react-native-navigation)"' package.json
Detect state management (Redux → breadcrumb integration available)
grep -E '"(redux|@reduxjs/toolkit|zustand|mobx)"' package.json
Check for existing Sentry initialization
grep -r "Sentry.init" src/ app/ App.tsx App.js _layout.tsx 2
/dev/null | head -5
Detect Hermes (affects source map handling)
cat android/app/build.gradle 2
/dev/null | grep -i hermes cat ios/Podfile 2
/dev/null | grep -i hermes
Detect Expo Router
ls app/_layout.tsx app/_layout.js 2
/dev/null
Detect backend for cross-link
ls backend/ server/ api/ 2
/dev/null find . -maxdepth 3 \ ( -name "go.mod" -o -name "requirements.txt" -o -name "Gemfile" -o -name "package.json" \ ) 2
/dev/null | grep -v node_modules | head -10 What to determine: Question Impact expo in package.json ? Expo path (config plugin + getSentryExpoConfig ) vs bare/vanilla RN path Expo SDK ≥50? @sentry/react-native directly; older = sentry-expo (legacy, do not use) app.json has "expo" key? Managed Expo — wizard is simplest; config plugin handles all native config app/_layout.tsx present? Expo Router project — init goes in _layout.tsx @sentry/react-native already in package.json ? Skip install, jump to feature config @react-navigation/native present? Recommend reactNavigationIntegration for screen tracking react-native-navigation present? Recommend reactNativeNavigationIntegration (Wix) Backend directory detected? Trigger Phase 4 cross-link Phase 2: Recommend Present a concrete recommendation based on what you found. Don't ask open-ended questions — lead with a proposal: Recommended (core coverage — always set up these): ✅ Error Monitoring — captures JS exceptions, native crashes (iOS + Android), ANRs, and app hangs ✅ Tracing — mobile performance is critical; auto-instruments navigation, app start, network requests ✅ Session Replay — mobile replay captures screenshots and touch events for debugging user issues Optional (enhanced observability): ⚡ Profiling — CPU profiling on iOS (JS profiling cross-platform); low overhead in production ⚡ Logging — structured logs via Sentry.logger.* ; links to traces for full context ⚡ User Feedback — collect user-submitted bug reports directly from your app Recommendation logic: Feature Recommend when... Error Monitoring Always — non-negotiable baseline for any mobile app Tracing Always for mobile — app start, navigation, and network latency matter Session Replay User-facing production app; debug user-reported issues visually Profiling Performance-sensitive screens, startup time concerns, or production perf investigations Logging App uses structured logging, or you want log-to-trace correlation in Sentry User Feedback Beta or customer-facing app where you want user-submitted bug reports Propose: "For your [Expo managed / bare RN] app, I recommend setting up Error Monitoring + Tracing + Session Replay. Want me to also add Profiling and Logging?" Phase 3: Guide Determine Your Setup Path Project type Recommended setup Complexity Expo managed (SDK 50+) Wizard CLI or manual with config plugin Low — wizard does everything Expo bare (SDK 50+) Wizard CLI recommended Medium — handles iOS/Android config Vanilla React Native (0.69+) Wizard CLI recommended Medium — handles Xcode + Gradle Expo SDK <50 Use sentry-expo (legacy) See legacy docs Path A: Wizard CLI (Recommended for all project types) You need to run this yourself — the wizard opens a browser for login and requires interactive input that the agent can't handle. Copy-paste into your terminal: npx @sentry/wizard@latest -i reactNative It handles login, org/project selection, SDK installation, native config, source map upload, and Sentry.init() . Here's what it creates/modifies: File Action Purpose package.json Installs @sentry/react-native Core SDK metro.config.js Adds @sentry/react-native/metro serializer Source map generation app.json Adds @sentry/react-native/expo plugin (Expo only) Config plugin for native builds App.tsx / _layout.tsx Adds Sentry.init() and Sentry.wrap() SDK initialization ios/sentry.properties Stores org/project/token iOS source map + dSYM upload android/sentry.properties Stores org/project/token Android source map upload android/app/build.gradle Adds Sentry Gradle plugin Android source maps + proguard ios/[AppName].xcodeproj Wraps "Bundle RN" build phase + adds dSYM upload iOS symbol upload .env.local SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN Auth token (add to .gitignore ) Once it finishes, come back and skip to Verification . If the user skips the wizard, proceed with Path B or C (Manual Setup) below based on their project type. Path B: Manual — Expo Managed (SDK 50+) Step 1 — Install npx expo install @sentry/react-native Step 2 — metro.config.js const { getSentryExpoConfig } = require ( "@sentry/react-native/metro" ) ; const config = getSentryExpoConfig ( __dirname ) ; module . exports = config ; If metro.config.js doesn't exist yet: npx expo customize metro.config.js
Then replace contents with the above
Step 3 — app.json — Add Expo config plugin { "expo" : { "plugins" : [ [ "@sentry/react-native/expo" , { "url" : "https://sentry.io/" , "project" : "YOUR_PROJECT_SLUG" , "organization" : "YOUR_ORG_SLUG" } ] ] } } Note: Set SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN as an environment variable for native builds — never commit it to version control. Step 4 — Initialize Sentry For Expo Router ( app/_layout.tsx ): import { Stack , useNavigationContainerRef } from "expo-router" ; import { isRunningInExpoGo } from "expo" ; import * as Sentry from "@sentry/react-native" ; import React from "react" ; const navigationIntegration = Sentry . reactNavigationIntegration ( { enableTimeToInitialDisplay : ! isRunningInExpoGo ( ) , // disabled in Expo Go } ) ; Sentry . init ( { dsn : process . env . EXPO_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN ?? "YOUR_SENTRY_DSN" , sendDefaultPii : true , // Tracing tracesSampleRate : 1.0 , // lower to 0.1–0.2 in production // Profiling profilesSampleRate : 1.0 , // Session Replay replaysOnErrorSampleRate : 1.0 , replaysSessionSampleRate : 0.1 , // Logging (SDK ≥7.0.0) enableLogs : true , // Navigation integrations : [ navigationIntegration , Sentry . mobileReplayIntegration ( ) , ] , enableNativeFramesTracking : ! isRunningInExpoGo ( ) , // slow/frozen frames environment : DEV ? "development" : "production" , } ) ; function RootLayout ( ) { const ref = useNavigationContainerRef ( ) ; React . useEffect ( ( ) => { if ( ref ) { navigationIntegration . registerNavigationContainer ( ref ) ; } } , [ ref ] ) ; return < Stack /
; } export default Sentry . wrap ( RootLayout ) ; For standard Expo ( App.tsx ): import { NavigationContainer , createNavigationContainerRef } from "@react-navigation/native" ; import { isRunningInExpoGo } from "expo" ; import * as Sentry from "@sentry/react-native" ; const navigationIntegration = Sentry . reactNavigationIntegration ( { enableTimeToInitialDisplay : ! isRunningInExpoGo ( ) , } ) ; Sentry . init ( { dsn : process . env . EXPO_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN ?? "YOUR_SENTRY_DSN" , sendDefaultPii : true , tracesSampleRate : 1.0 , profilesSampleRate : 1.0 , replaysOnErrorSampleRate : 1.0 , replaysSessionSampleRate : 0.1 , enableLogs : true , integrations : [ navigationIntegration , Sentry . mobileReplayIntegration ( ) , ] , enableNativeFramesTracking : ! isRunningInExpoGo ( ) , environment : DEV ? "development" : "production" , } ) ; const navigationRef = createNavigationContainerRef ( ) ; function App ( ) { return ( < NavigationContainer ref = { navigationRef } onReady = { ( ) => { navigationIntegration . registerNavigationContainer ( navigationRef ) ; } }
{ / your navigation here / } < / NavigationContainer
) ; } export default Sentry . wrap ( App ) ; Path C: Manual — Bare React Native (0.69+) Step 1 — Install npm install @sentry/react-native --save cd ios && pod install Step 2 — metro.config.js const { getDefaultConfig } = require ( "@react-native/metro-config" ) ; const { withSentryConfig } = require ( "@sentry/react-native/metro" ) ; const config = getDefaultConfig ( __dirname ) ; module . exports = withSentryConfig ( config ) ; Step 3 — iOS: Modify Xcode build phase Open ios/[AppName].xcodeproj in Xcode. Find the "Bundle React Native code and images" build phase and replace the script content with:
RN 0.81.1+
set -e WITH_ENVIRONMENT = "../node_modules/react-native/scripts/xcode/with-environment.sh" SENTRY_XCODE = "../node_modules/@sentry/react-native/scripts/sentry-xcode.sh" /bin/sh -c " $WITH_ENVIRONMENT $SENTRY_XCODE " Step 4 — iOS: Add "Upload Debug Symbols to Sentry" build phase Add a new Run Script build phase in Xcode (after the bundle phase): /bin/sh .. /node_modules/@sentry/react-native/scripts/sentry-xcode-debug-files.sh Step 5 — iOS: ios/sentry.properties defaults.url = https://sentry.io/ defaults.org = YOUR_ORG_SLUG defaults.project = YOUR_PROJECT_SLUG auth.token = YOUR_ORG_AUTH_TOKEN Step 6 — Android: android/app/build.gradle Add before the android {} block: apply from : "../../node_modules/@sentry/react-native/sentry.gradle" Step 7 — Android: android/sentry.properties defaults.url = https://sentry.io/ defaults.org = YOUR_ORG_SLUG defaults.project = YOUR_PROJECT_SLUG auth.token = YOUR_ORG_AUTH_TOKEN Step 8 — Initialize Sentry ( App.tsx or entry point) import { NavigationContainer , createNavigationContainerRef } from "@react-navigation/native" ; import * as Sentry from "@sentry/react-native" ; const navigationIntegration = Sentry . reactNavigationIntegration ( { enableTimeToInitialDisplay : true , } ) ; Sentry . init ( { dsn : "YOUR_SENTRY_DSN" , sendDefaultPii : true , tracesSampleRate : 1.0 , profilesSampleRate : 1.0 , replaysOnErrorSampleRate : 1.0 , replaysSessionSampleRate : 0.1 , enableLogs : true , integrations : [ navigationIntegration , Sentry . mobileReplayIntegration ( ) , ] , enableNativeFramesTracking : true , environment : DEV ? "development" : "production" , } ) ; const navigationRef = createNavigationContainerRef ( ) ; function App ( ) { return ( < NavigationContainer ref = { navigationRef } onReady = { ( ) => { navigationIntegration . registerNavigationContainer ( navigationRef ) ; } }
{ / your navigation here / } < / NavigationContainer
) ; } export default Sentry . wrap ( App ) ; Quick Reference: Full-Featured Sentry.init() This is the recommended starting configuration with all features enabled: import * as Sentry from "@sentry/react-native" ; Sentry . init ( { dsn : "YOUR_SENTRY_DSN" , sendDefaultPii : true , // Tracing — lower to 0.1–0.2 in high-traffic production tracesSampleRate : 1.0 , // Profiling — runs on a subset of traced transactions profilesSampleRate : 1.0 , // Session Replay — always capture on error, sample 10% of all sessions replaysOnErrorSampleRate : 1.0 , replaysSessionSampleRate : 0.1 , // Logging — enable Sentry.logger.* API enableLogs : true , // Integrations — mobile replay is opt-in integrations : [ Sentry . mobileReplayIntegration ( { maskAllText : true , // masks text by default for privacy maskAllImages : true , } ) , ] , // Native frames tracking (disable in Expo Go) enableNativeFramesTracking : true , // Environment environment : DEV ? "development" : "production" , // Release — set from CI or build system // release: "my-app@1.0.0+1", // dist: "1", } ) ; // REQUIRED: Wrap root component to capture React render errors export default Sentry . wrap ( App ) ; Navigation Setup — React Navigation (v5+) import { reactNavigationIntegration } from "@sentry/react-native" ; import { NavigationContainer , createNavigationContainerRef } from "@react-navigation/native" ; const navigationIntegration = reactNavigationIntegration ( { enableTimeToInitialDisplay : true , // track TTID per screen routeChangeTimeoutMs : 1_000 , // max wait for route change to settle ignoreEmptyBackNavigationTransactions : true , } ) ; // Add to Sentry.init integrations array Sentry . init ( { integrations : [ navigationIntegration ] , // ... } ) ; // In your component: const navigationRef = createNavigationContainerRef ( ) ; < NavigationContainer ref = { navigationRef } onReady = { ( ) => { navigationIntegration . registerNavigationContainer ( navigationRef ) ; } }
Navigation Setup — Wix React Native Navigation import * as Sentry from "@sentry/react-native" ; import { Navigation } from "react-native-navigation" ; Sentry . init ( { integrations : [ Sentry . reactNativeNavigationIntegration ( { navigation : Navigation } ) ] , // ... } ) ; Wrap Your Root Component Always wrap your root component — this enables React error boundaries and ensures crashes at the component tree level are captured: export default Sentry . wrap ( App ) ; For Each Agreed Feature Walk through features one at a time.

When set up correctly, Sentry shows you the exact line of your source code that threw. How Uploads Work Platform What's uploaded When iOS (JS) Source maps ( .map files) During Xcode build iOS (Native) dSYM bundles During Xcode archive / Xcode Cloud Android (JS) Source maps + Hermes .hbc.map During Gradle build Android (Native) Proguard mapping + NDK .so files During Gradle build Expo: Automatic Upload The @sentry/react-native/expo config plugin automatically sets up upload hooks for native builds. Source maps are uploaded during eas build and expo run:ios/android (release). SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN = sntrys_ .. . npx expo run:ios --configuration Release Manual Upload (bare RN) If you need to manually upload source maps: npx sentry-cli sourcemaps upload \ --org YOUR_ORG \ --project YOUR_PROJECT \ --release "my-app@1.0.0+1" \ ./dist Default Integrations (Auto-Enabled) These integrations are enabled automatically — no config needed: Integration What it does ReactNativeErrorHandlers Catches unhandled JS exceptions and promise rejections Release Attaches release/dist to all events Breadcrumbs Records console logs, HTTP requests, user gestures as breadcrumbs HttpClient Adds HTTP request/response breadcrumbs DeviceContext Attaches device/OS/battery info to events AppContext Attaches app version, bundle ID, and memory info CultureContext Attaches locale and timezone Screenshot Captures screenshot on error (when attachScreenshot: true ) ViewHierarchy Attaches view hierarchy (when attachViewHierarchy: true ) NativeLinkedErrors Links JS errors to their native crash counterparts Opt-In Integrations Integration How to enable mobileReplayIntegration() Add to integrations array reactNavigationIntegration() Add to integrations array reactNativeNavigationIntegration() Add to integrations array (Wix only) feedbackIntegration() Add to integrations array (user feedback widget) Expo Config Plugin Reference Configure the plugin in app.json or app.config.js : { "expo" : { "plugins" : [ [ "@sentry/react-native/expo" , { "url" : "https://sentry.io/" , "project" : "my-project" , "organization" : "my-org" , "note" : "Set SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN env var for native builds" } ] ] } } Or in app.config.js (allows env var interpolation): export default { expo : { plugins : [ [ "@sentry/react-native/expo" , { url : "https://sentry.io/" , project : process . env . SENTRY_PROJECT , organization : process . env . SENTRY_ORG , } , ] , ] , } , } ; Production Settings Lower sample rates and harden config before shipping to production: Sentry . init ( { dsn : process . env . EXPO_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN , environment : DEV ? "development" : "production" , // Trace 10–20% of transactions in high-traffic production tracesSampleRate : DEV ? 1.0 : 0.1 , // Profile 100% of traced transactions (profiling is always a subset of tracing) profilesSampleRate : 1.0 , // Replay all error sessions, sample 5% of normal sessions replaysOnErrorSampleRate : 1.0 , replaysSessionSampleRate : DEV ? 1.0 : 0.05 , // Set release and dist for accurate source map lookup release : "my-app@" + Application . nativeApplicationVersion , dist : String ( Application . nativeBuildVersion ) , // Disable debug logging in production debug : DEV , } ) ; Verification After setup, test that Sentry is receiving events: // Quick test — throws and Sentry.wrap(App) catches it < Button title = "Test Sentry Error" onPress = { ( ) => { throw new Error ( "My first Sentry error!" ) ; } } / // Or capture manually < Button title = "Test Sentry Message" onPress = { ( ) => { Sentry . captureMessage ( "Sentry test message" , "info" ) ; } } /
Check the Sentry dashboard: Issues → your test error should appear within seconds Traces → look for a "main" transaction with child spans Replays → session recording visible after app interaction (native build only — not Expo Go) Logs → structured log entries if enableLogs: true ⚠️ Expo Go limitation: Native crashes, session replay, slow/frozen frames, TTID, and TTFD only work in native builds ( eas build or expo run ). Expo Go runs in a JS-only mode. Set enableNativeFramesTracking: !isRunningInExpoGo() to avoid warnings. If nothing appears: Set debug: true — SDK logs to Metro console Verify DSN is correct and the Sentry project exists Ensure Sentry.wrap(App) is applied to the root component For native crashes, build a release build (crashes in debug mode may not forward) Phase 4: Cross-Link After completing React Native setup, check for a backend or web frontend missing Sentry coverage:
Adjacent backend directories
ls .. /backend .. /server .. /api 2
/dev/null cat .. /go.mod 2
/dev/null | head -3 cat .. /requirements.txt .. /pyproject.toml 2
/dev/null | head -3 cat .. /Gemfile 2
/dev/null | head -3 ls .. /backend/package.json .. /server/package.json 2
/dev/null
Web frontend in same or sibling repo
ls .. /web .. /frontend .. /dashboard 2
/dev/null cat .. /web/package.json .. /frontend/package.json 2
/dev/null | grep -E '"react"|"svelte"|"next"'
Check for OpenTelemetry (for distributed tracing interop)
grep -r "opentelemetry" .. /backend/go.mod .. /server/requirements.txt 2
/dev/null If a backend or web frontend exists without Sentry, suggest the matching skill: Detected Suggest skill Go backend ( go.mod ) sentry-go-sdk Python backend ( requirements.txt , pyproject.toml ) sentry-python-sdk Ruby backend ( Gemfile ) sentry-ruby-sdk Node.js backend (Express, Fastify, etc.) @sentry/node — see docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/express/ React / Next.js web sentry-react-sdk Svelte / SvelteKit web sentry-svelte-sdk Distributed tracing setup — if the backend skill is added, configure tracePropagationTargets in React Native to propagate trace context to your API: Sentry . init ( { tracePropagationTargets : [ "localhost" , / ^ https: \/ \/ api . yourapp . com / , ] , // ... } ) ; This links mobile transactions to backend traces in the Sentry waterfall view. Troubleshooting Issue Solution Events not appearing in Sentry Set debug: true , check Metro/Xcode console for SDK errors; verify DSN is correct pod install fails Run cd ios && pod install --repo-update ; check CocoaPods version iOS build fails with Sentry script Verify the "Bundle React Native code and images" script was replaced (not appended to) Android build fails after adding sentry.gradle Ensure apply from line is before the android {} block in build.gradle Android Gradle 8+ compatibility issue Use sentry-android-gradle-plugin ≥4.0.0; check sentry.gradle version in your SDK Source maps not uploading Verify sentry.properties has a valid auth.token ; check build logs for sentry-cli output Source maps not resolving in Sentry Confirm release and dist in Sentry.init() match the uploaded bundle metadata Hermes source maps not working Hermes emits .hbc.map — the Gradle plugin handles this automatically; verify sentry.gradle is applied Session replay not recording Must use a native build (not Expo Go); confirm mobileReplayIntegration() is in integrations Replay shows blank/black screens Check that maskAllText / maskAllImages settings match your privacy requirements Slow/frozen frames not tracked Set enableNativeFramesTracking: true and confirm you're on a native build (not Expo Go) TTID / TTFD not appearing Requires enableTimeToInitialDisplay: true in reactNavigationIntegration() on a native build App crashes on startup after adding Sentry Likely a native initialization error — check Xcode/Logcat logs; try enableNative: false to isolate Expo SDK 49 or older Use sentry-expo (legacy package); @sentry/react-native requires Expo SDK 50+ isRunningInExpoGo import error Import from expo package: import { isRunningInExpoGo } from "expo" Node not found during Xcode build Add export NODE_BINARY=$(which node) to the Xcode build phase, or symlink: ln -s $(which node) /usr/local/bin/node Expo Go warning about native features Use isRunningInExpoGo() guard: enableNativeFramesTracking: !isRunningInExpoGo() beforeSend not firing for native crashes Expected — beforeSend only intercepts JS-layer errors; native crashes bypass it Android 15+ (16KB page size) crash Upgrade to @sentry/react-native ≥6.3.0 Too many transactions in dashboard Lower tracesSampleRate to 0.1 or use tracesSampler to drop health checks SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN exposed in app bundle SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN is for build-time upload only — never pass it to Sentry.init() EAS Build: Sentry auth token missing Set SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN as an EAS secret: eas secret:create --name SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN
