[Expo, iOS] When native enabled events are not sent

[timmyjose]

OS:

• Windows
• MacOS
• Linux

Platform:

• iOS
• Android

SDK:

• @sentry/react-native (>= 1.0.0)
• react-native-sentry (<= 0.43.2)

SDK version: ~5.22.0

react-native version: 0.74.3

Are you using Expo?

• Yes (CNG - Continuous Native Generation, android and ios directories in version control, previously called "bare" workflow).
• No

Are you using sentry.io or on-premise?

• sentry.io (SaaS)
• on-premise

If you are using sentry.io, please post a link to your issue so we can take a look: N/A

Configuration:

(@sentry/react-native)

import { getVersion, getBuildNumber } from 'react-native-device-info'
...

Sentry.init({
  dsn: SENTRY_DSN,
  environment: ENV_NAME,
  normalizeDepth: 7,
  integrations: [
    new Sentry.ReactNativeTracing({
      enableAppStartTracking: false
    })
  ],
  enabled: !__DEV__,
  enableNative: Platform.OS === 'android',
  enableNativeCrashHandling: Platform.OS === 'android',
  release: `${getVersion()} (${getBuildNumber()})`, // workaround because of the current issue
  dist: getBuildNumber(), // workaround because of the current issue
  ignoreErrors: [/network-error error/]
})

I have the following issue:

Two issues. possibly both related to the same underlying issue.

Main issue: If enableNative: true, then notifications are not sent for iOS. No error logs.
Secondary Issue: No Device Information coming through for iOS. (Possibly related to the main issue?)

Steps to reproduce: N/A (possibly project-specific since the setup works in an expo 51 prototype).

Some possibly helpful information:

Logs (with debug: true:

No errors in logs.

 LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Unhandled promise rejections will be caught by Sentry.

 LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: NativeLinkedErrors

....

Is Native SDK initialised?

If I try with this code:

Sentry.init({
   ...
   onReady: ({ didCallNativeInit}) => {
     if (didCallNativeInit) {
       console.log('Native SDK initialised successfully')
   }
   ...
}

then I see that the native SDK was initialised correctly.

sentry.json

Is auto-linking happening?

Yes:

Auto-linking React Native modules for target `<redacted>`: RNCAsyncStorage, RNDeviceInfo, RNFBApp, RNFBMessaging, RNGestureHandler, RNLocalize, RNNotifee, RNSVG, RNScreens, RNSentry, react-native-cloud-storage, react-native-compat, react-native-get-random-values, react-native-netinfo, react-native-quick-base64, react-native-rust-bridge, and react-native-safe-area-context

Is notification packet captured in beforeSend?

Yes. Please see the attachment, sentry.json.

Actual result:

• If enableNative: true, then no notifications sent for iOS.
• No Device Information available for iOS notifications .

Expected result:

• enableNative: true works for iOS, and we get notifications in the Sentry dashboard.
• Device Information is available for iOS notifications.

Thank you @timmyjose for the detailed report! We'll take a look and get back to you - due to PTOs and such we might take a few days though.

And to clarify

Secondary Issue: No Device Information coming through for iOS. (Possibly related to the main issue?)

does this only happen if you deactivate native? (i.e. enableNative: Platform.OS === 'android', on iOS would resolve to false)
if you do that, I would expect LOG Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: DeviceContext not to show up on the logs as well

[timmyjose]

@kahest Thank you! And, yes, the configuration is the same: enableNative: Platform.OS === 'android'.

About that specific log entry, let me check and get back to you on that. It is quite possible that I might have been trying both iOS and Android for comparison.

[timmyjose]

@kahest Sorry for the delay. I tested both scenarios, and here are the findings:

1. With enableNative: Platform.OS === 'android':

 WARN  Sentry Logger [warn]: Note: Native Sentry SDK is disabled. // @timmyjose - this makes sense to me since it's disabled for `iOS`
 LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Unhandled promise rejections will be caught by Sentry.

Upon triggering an action that should send a notification:

 LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: [TouchEvents] Touch event within element: Text
 LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: [ReactNativeTracing] User Interaction Tracing is disabled.
 LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: [TouchEvents] Touch event within element: Text
 LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: [ReactNativeTracing] User Interaction Tracing is disabled.
 LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: [TouchEvents] Touch event within element: Text
 LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: [ReactNativeTracing] User Interaction Tracing is disabled.
 WARN  Sentry Logger [warn]: [SdkInfo] Native SDK Info retrieval failed...something could be wrong with your Sentry installation:
 WARN  Sentry Logger [warn]: [SentryError: Native is disabled]

2. With enableNative: true:

LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Unhandled promise rejections will be caught by Sentry.
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: ReactNativeErrorHandlers
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: NativeLinkedErrors
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: InboundFilters
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: FunctionToString
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: Breadcrumbs
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: Dedupe
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: HttpContext
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: Release
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: EventOrigin
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: SdkInfo
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: ReactNativeInfo
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: DebugSymbolicator
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: RewriteFrames
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: DeviceContext
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: ModulesLoader
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: [ReactNativeTracing] Native frames instrumentation initialized.

LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: ReactNativeTracing
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: ReactNativeProfiler
LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: Integration installed: TouchEventBoundary```

and when I trigger an action that should send a notification (from what I can tell, unrelated warnings?):

 LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: [TouchEvents] Touch event within element: Text
 LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: [ReactNativeTracing] User Interaction Tracing is disabled.
 LOG  Sentry Logger [log]: [TouchEvents] Touch event within element: Text
