FAQPage Schema
How do I track React Native exceptions with PostHog?

To track React Native exceptions, install the posthog-react-native SDK and wrap your application with PostHogProvider to enable automated exception capture for both iOS and Android projects.

What is the best way to get readable stack traces from React Native error tracking?

React Native error tracking produces readable stack traces by configuring source maps. Source-map guidance is provided to ensure captured exceptions yield debuggable stack traces rather than minified output.

Can I use PostHog error tracking with both iOS and Android React Native apps?

Yes, PostHog error tracking is applicable to both iOS and Android React Native projects, providing a unified view for debugging crashes and mobile exceptions across platforms.

How do error boundaries work for React Native crash tracking?

Error boundaries optionally isolate rendering failures in React Native by gracefully catching errors. This isolates crashes to specific UI components instead of crashing the entire application.

Do I need environment variables to configure PostHog error tracking in React Native?

Yes, React Native error tracking requires environment-based configuration for tokens and host. You must adhere to environment variable practices and ensure correct autocapture order during setup.

Why are my React Native source maps not working in PostHog error tracking?

Source maps may fail if environment variable practices for tokens and host are misconfigured or if autocapture order is incorrect, resulting in minified stack traces instead of readable exception output.
