Mobile Replay crashes on SDK init in Release mode on Android devices

[LucianGalea]

OS:

• Windows
• MacOS
• Linux

Platform:

• iOS
• Android

SDK:

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

SDK version: 5.27.0

react-native version: 0.73.2

Are you using Expo?

• Yes
• No

Are you using sentry.io or on-premise?

• sentry.io (SaaS)
• on-premise

Configuration:

(@sentry/react-native)

Sentry.init({
  dsn: 'https://...',

  _experiments: {
    replaysSessionSampleRate: 1.0,
    replaysOnErrorSampleRate: 1.0,
  },

  integrations: [
    Sentry.mobileReplayIntegration({
      maskAllText: false,
      maskAllImages: false,
      maskAllVectors: false,
    }),
  ],
});

I have the following issue:

On React Native 0.73.2, replays on Google Pixel Pro 6 don't work. On top of that, reloading the app will freeze it.

Steps to reproduce:

• Initialise a project with RN 0.73.2: npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init RNSentryTest --version 0.73.2
• Add sentry: npx @sentry/wizard@latest -s -i reactNative

Actual result:

On Google Pixel 6 Pro (Android version 14), no replays will be captured. On top of that, reloading the app will freeze. Killing the app and restarting it fixes the freeze.

NOTE: disabling the replays doesn't fix the freeze, so it's probably not related to that.

Expected result:

Replays should be saved.
Reload shouldn't freeze.

I have the same problem on Android.. The app crashes when is downloaded from the playstore. From the emulator works ok.

Thank you both for the report. @franblanco95 do you use Session Replay?

Yes i do

Same here.

ENV:

@LucianGalea Thank you for the report and the information, do both Hot Reload and Reload from Metro freeze the app?

[krystofwoldrich]

@manuelabarca and @franblanco95 would you be able to share more information about the crash? Tombstone, stack trace...

Does in work in Release mode on real device? But crashes when downloaded from the store?

In release mode it is not working, we have tried downloading from appcenter, internal channel in google play and google play production. But in emulator it works and does not give any error messages.

Sentry capture, title: abort.

Hot reload works maybe half of the time (it's difficult to establish a pattern)
Reload from Metro always freezes the app - the only way to proceed is to kill it and restart.

I have shared the bug report via google play console to you as the library provider.
This is from google play console:

@manuelabarca Thank you for the stack traces.

@romtsn It looks like the replay integration crashes during init on a file creation.

[mattlewer]

I'm also experiencing a crash after upgrading and implementing the session replay, for me it occurs when the user records a video and then accepts it, returning to the app.

We're using react-native-image-picker, which I believe starts its own activity. Would this be the same issue or should I open another?

[romtsn]

@mattlewer what's the stacktrace of the crash?

[mattlewer]

@romtsn

@mattlewer probably it's not the same issue, so I'd suggest opening a new one, and provide details like what devices does this affect, what android versions, a link to your project in sentry, etc. Thank you!
