| If you're using [expo-dev-client](https://docs.expo.dev/development/introduction/#what-is-an-expo-dev-client), you might notice that transactions never finish in your dev builds. This is due to logs that the dev client is continuously sending to the development server. To fix this, you can stop creating spans for the HTTP requests to the log endpoint in your dev builds by adding the following to your `Sentry.init()`: | ||

The check was introduced to prevent shipping a sentry-android version that differs from the one bundled by our pinned Sentry Android Gradle Plugin, since a mismatch causes an IllegalStateException crash when AGP autoInstallation is enabled. Following the documentation update in getsentry/sentry-docs#17349, React Native users are now explicitly told to set autoInstallation.enabled = false. Per internal discussion, users who opt into AGP are expected to follow the setup guide, so the footgun is no longer silent, and hard-failing the check unnecessarily couples RN SDK release cadence to gradle plugin release cadence. Downgrade to warn() so reviewers still see the mismatch, with an updated message pointing to the docs-based mitigation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
