Standalone Crashing on Startup (iOS and Android)

Expo SDK
1

Please provide the following:

  1. SDK Version: 39
  2. Platforms(Android/iOS/web/all): iOS & Android

Upgraded from SDK35 to SDK39. Everything runs smoothly on development (Expo APP), but standalone app crashes on startup right after the Splash Screen is shown both on Simulator and TestFlight.

Not sure if this would be relevant, but I started using Typescript in the upgrade process.

Here is the crash log from the Simulator:

Edit: censor package name

I noticed I had node 15+ installed and was getting a warning saying that this version of node wasn’t 100% tested. So I downgraded to the supported version to check if it would help, but no success.

Edit: Typo

it’s a JS exception, so could you try running this in production mode locally with expo start --no-dev --minify?

It also crashes. On the terminal, I get this error:
Unable to start your application. Please refer to https://expo.fyi/no-registered-application for more information.

And this is the error info on the simulator:

TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'x.Native.init')

that’s a great thing to look for! where are you calling Native.init in your code? or which of your dependencies are doing it?

That was it! The issue was in a Sentry.init() call.
I kept looking for Native.init and couldn’t find it, until I saw your answer and it made me think: Here’s how I was importing Sentry: import {Native as Sentry } from 'sentry-expo';

So now I’ll try to figure out what’s wrong with this call.

Thanks for the help! :clap:

the correct import style for expo-sentry is the following:

import * as Sentry from 'sentry-expo';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: 'YOUR DSN HERE',
  enableInExpoDevelopment: true,
  debug: true, // If `true`, Sentry will try to print out useful debugging information if something goes wrong with sending the event. Set it to `false` in production
});
