JavaScript Core

Upload source maps for React Native JavaScript Core application.

Sentry's React Native SDK works out of the box with applications using JavaScript Core (JSC) engine. To see readable stack traces in the product source maps need to be uploaded to Sentry. This guide explains how to manually upload source maps from JSC engine.

The easiest way to configure automatic source maps upload is to use the Sentry Wizard:

Copied
npx @sentry/wizard@latest -i reactNative

To manually upload source maps, first, you need to generate the source maps and bundle. Then compile the Hermes bytecode bundle, and finally upload the source map to Sentry.

Start by adding Sentry React Native Metro Plugin to your metro.config.js:

Copied
const { getDefaultConfig } = require("@react-native/metro-config");
const { withSentryConfig } = require("@sentry/react-native/metro");

const config = getDefaultConfig(__dirname);
module.exports = withSentryConfig(config);

Generate the React Native Packager (Metro) bundle and source maps:

Copied
npx react-native bundle \
  --dev false \
  --minify true \
  --platform android \
  --entry-file index.js \
  --reset-cache \
  --bundle-output index.android.bundle \
  --sourcemap-output index.android.bundle.map

Make sure sentry-cli is configured for your project and set up your environment variables:

.env
Copied
SENTRY_ORG=example-org
SENTRY_PROJECT=example-project
SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN=sntrys_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE

Upload the bundle and source map to Sentry:

Copied
node_modules/@sentry/cli/bin/sentry-cli sourcemaps upload \
  --strip-prefix /path/to/project/root \
  index.android.bundle index.android.bundle.map
