[krystofwoldrich]

sentry-expo is not deprecated yet and fully supports the current React Native 0.72 but likely won't get any new features, those will be added to sentry-react-native. This issue summarizes the deprecation plans.

Internal Notion notes

[brentvatne]

thanks for putting this together and for the help here @krystofwoldrich! only feedback I have is re: Expo managed frames / Expo bare frames - those names in our sentry-expo repo are kind of misleading so I'll attempt to clarify that here:

the "Expo managed" integration should be called "Expo Go" (this app is a sandbox for learning/experimenting, I think even supporting it in Sentry is optional and I wouldn't be opposed to dropping that)

the "Expo bare" integration could just be called "Expo" (any app with the Expo SDK installed will work the same, no need to differentiate between managed or bare)

[krystofwoldrich]

@brentvatne Thank you for the context, I agree "Expo Go" is a lower priority (as Sentry is oriented on production bugs), but to keep a good dev experience, we would like the JS error captured during development in Expo Go to be correctly reported (source mapped) in Sentry.

Hey @krystofwoldrich - I'm assuming this will need at least a small docs change to the Expo section of docs. Just want to make sure that's it!

[krystofwoldrich]

@shanamatthews Yes, this will need a few changes in the docs, not only the Expo section but also a migration guide from the sentry-expo package to sentry-react-native.

@krystofwoldrich Hello the sourcemap is still not being uploaded. Can we have instruction on how to upload the sourcemap with sentry? On older version of expo I didn't have this problem. It has now been a few months i'm using expo and sentry without sourcemaps. The sourcemap seems to upload well on the web app version but not on android or ios :)

[krystofwoldrich]

@felix-lambert Hi, thank you for the message, could you share what Sentry SDK version and Expo version are you using and how you build the app?

The auto upload was fixed in the latest release of https://github.com/expo/sentry-expo/releases/tag/v7.1.1.

[felix-lambert]

I tried the latest release and it has been fixed. The sourcemap seems to upload well to sentry on android and ios now. Well done ! :)

[krystofwoldrich]

@sentry/react-native now supports Expo out of the box!

Update to https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-react-native/releases/tag/5.16.0 or newer to get all the new features.

Migration guides available:

• https://github.com/expo/fyi/blob/main/sentry-expo-migration.md
• https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/react-native/migration/sentry-expo/

Dealing with the same error right now trying to upgrade SDK. Added entry to plugins in app.config.ts as the migration guide says is fine

[brentvatne]

@natasxa @paulmthiebauth - do you have @sentry/react-native installed in your project? which version?

[natasxa]

@brentvatne sure I do, "@sentry/react-native": "5.10.0"
