Sentry React Native Setup

What it does

This skill automates the initialization of Sentry error tracking specifically for React Native applications. It streamlines the configuration process to ensure crash reports and performance data are sent directly to your Sentry dashboard without manual code injection.

When to use it

• You have a new React Native project and need immediate visibility into runtime errors.
• Your team wants to standardize error reporting setup across multiple mobile apps.
• You require automatic DSN configuration and environment variable management during deployment.
• You need to integrate crash analytics early in the development lifecycle before production release.

Key capabilities

• Automatically installs the required @sentry/react-native SDK package.
• Configures Sentry initialization with your unique project DSN.
• Sets up necessary environment variables for secure credential handling.
• Generates a pre-configured sentry.properties file for native linking.
• Provides scripts to link Sentry with iOS and Android native modules.

Example prompts

• "Initialize Sentry error tracking in my new React Native Expo project."
• "Configure Sentry for my React Native app using the provided DSN and set up native linking."
• "Set up crash reporting for my React Native application with automatic environment variable generation."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have a valid Sentry DSN before running the setup, as the skill requires this to generate the correct initialization code. Verify that your native iOS and Android build environments are correctly configured after linking to avoid runtime errors.
