I have following issue:

After installing sentry and run the below commands the app cannot build for iOS. It works fine on android though. in project.pbxproj file i have

Bundle React Native code and images:

shellScript = "export SENTRY_PROPERTIES=sentry.properties\nexport EXTRA_PACKAGER_ARGS=\"--sourcemap-output $DERIVED_FILE_DIR/main.jsbundle.map\"\nset -e\n\nexport NODE_BINARY=node\n../node_modules/@sentry/cli/bin/sentry-cli react-native xcode ../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh index.tsx\n\n/bin/sh ../node_modules/@sentry/react-native/scripts/collect-modules.sh\n";

Upload Debug Symbols to Sentry:

export SENTRY_PROPERTIES=sentry.properties\n../node_modules/@sentry/cli/bin/sentry-cli upload-dsym

Steps to reproduce:

• yarn add @sentry/react-native
• yarn sentry-wizard -i reactNative -p ios android
• cd ios && pod install
• Build the app using Xcode

Actual result:

error: Found argument 'index.tsx' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context

USAGE:
    sentry-cli react-native xcode [OPTIONS] [BUILD_SCRIPT] [-- <ARGS>...]

For more information try --help

Expected result:

Should be able to build successfully.

Finally found a solution. Remove the index.tsx from the original script in the question as mentioned by @krystofwoldrich and add export ENTRY_FILE=index.tsx to the script. That solves the issue.

So, here is how the script would look like

shellScript = "export SENTRY_PROPERTIES=sentry.properties\nexport EXTRA_PACKAGER_ARGS=\"--sourcemap-output $DERIVED_FILE_DIR/main.jsbundle.map\"\nset -e\n\nexport ENTRY_FILE=index.tsx\nexport NODE_BINARY=node\n../node_modules/@sentry/cli/bin/sentry-cli react-native xcode ../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh \n\n/bin/sh ../node_modules/@sentry/react-native/scripts/collect-modules.sh\n";

Another solution that i found, but NOT recommended is, changing the file node_modules/react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh:74 replace ENTRY_FILE=${1:-index.js} with ENTRY_FILE=${1:-index.tsx}

Hope this resolves the issue if anyone else if facing it

will give it a try when i get to work on monday

just to clarify, you want me to change it to this

shellScript = "export SENTRY_PROPERTIES=sentry.properties\nexport EXTRA_PACKAGER_ARGS=\"--sourcemap-output $DERIVED_FILE_DIR/main.jsbundle.map\"\nset -e\n\nexport NODE_BINARY=node\n../node_modules/@sentry/cli/bin/sentry-cli react-native xcode ../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react-native-xcode.sh \n\n/bin/sh ../node_modules/@sentry/react-native/scripts/collect-modules.sh\n";
