OS:

• Windows
• [*] MacOS
• Linux

Platform:

• [*] iOS
• [*] Android

SDK:

• [*] @sentry/react-native: 1.0.5
• react-native-sentry

react-native version: 0.60.4, 0.60.5

Init Code:

import * as Sentry from "@sentry/react-native";
 
Sentry.init({
  dsn: "__DSN__" // i'm use __DSN__ = real dsn app

Sentry.setTag("myTag", "tag-value");
Sentry.setExtra("myExtra", "extra-value");

Sentry.captureMessage("Hello Sentry!");

I have following issue:
After starting, I see a modal message "Warning, could not connect to Sentry native SDK".
If you do not want to use the native component please pass enableNative: false in the options. Visit: https://docs.sentry.io/clients/react-native/ for more details."

Thanks in advance for the answers.

1. Why does the link in the message lead to the documentation for the deprecated project?
2. Why am I referring to this modal message, how do I resolve this issue?
3. What should i use now for react-native 0.60+ sentry-react-native или @sentry/react-native?

Steps to reproduce:

• react-native init AwesomeProject
• cd AwesomeProject
• npm i
• npm install --save @sentry/react-native
• in directory AwesomeProject run react-native start
• run ios and android app

Thanks for pointing out that it guides to the old documentation.
Did you run pod install as stated in the docs?

@HazAT Sorry, iOS build is working.
Build for android showed Modal message.

I just tried a clean project react-native init project it worked without issues, I need a reproduction case for this.
Make sure you linked the dependency correctly.

proper linking sorted this out for me by adding

pod 'RNSentry', :path => '../node_modules/@sentry/react-native'

then pod install

"@sentry/react-native": "1.3.1",

Anyone find a solution to this? Running into the same issue right now. I've reinstalled all node_modules and walked through the wizard. Tried 'npm link' as well as pod install, neither had any effect.

Seeing it on both iOS and Android, in addition, interestingly enough, even when i use the flag enableNative:false, I still get the warnings.

"@sentry/react-native": "^1.4.1",
"react-native": "0.62.2",

@jamesdunay @muriloneo @waqaramjad Can you try updating to the latest 1.7.0 and see if the issue persists? This just sounds like incorrect installations to me.

[muriloneo]

solved with enableNative: process.env.NODE_ENV == 'development' ? false : true on init

[jennmueng]

solved with enableNative: process.env.NODE_ENV == 'development' ? false : true on init

@muriloneo I highly recommend against doing that as if something is wrong with your installation you would not get notified on development and it could crash your production builds.

[muriloneo]

I've removed, reinstalled, tried a lot of things and nothing made it work.

Yesterday was working. The only thing that helped was that.

[jennmueng]

@muriloneo Is the issue your seeing a YellowBox that says "Note: Native Sentry SDK is disabled." ?

[muriloneo]

No.
An alert box.

[jennmueng]

No.
An alert box.

@muriloneo This means that the SDK is not linked correctly, if you enable this in production it would crash the app.

[muriloneo]

I'll test relase in a few.

But my installation was perfect yesterday. Today woke up with this error.
As I said, removed, cleaned, reinstalled, wizard (3 times) and nothing. Really don't know what to do.

[jennmueng]

@muriloneo Hmm did it install a newer version in the background or something? But yeah, at the very least I strongly suggest if you want to disable native crash handling to just do enableNative: false because the error you have there would crash on production.

[cervebar]

I have the same issue with @sentry/react-native": "5.0.0", and RN 0.68.3. Any ideas?

[krystofwoldrich]

@cervebar This issue is very old, it might be better to open a new one with more details about your app, are you using Expo, how do you build your app...?
