Symbolication/Deobfuscation
Explained here is how to symbolicate your crashes to get more details from the stack trace.

Uploading iOS Source Map Files
You can follow these steps to generate iOS sourcemap files and upload them.
- Go to your root directory.
- Run the following script.
react-native bundle --platform ios \
--entry-file index.js \
--dev false \
--bundle-output ./ios/main.jsbundle \
--sourcemap-output ./ios-sourcemap.json &&
zip ./ios-sourcemap.zip ./ios-sourcemap.json
- Upload the generated file "ios-sourcemap.json" at your project’s root directory.

Uploading Android Source Map Files
You can follow these steps to generate Android sourcemap files and upload them.
- Go to your root directory.
- Run the following script.
react-native bundle --platform android \
--entry-file index.js \
--dev false \
--bundle-output ./android/main.jsbundle \
--sourcemap-output ./android-sourcemap.json &&
zip ./android-sourcemap.zip ./android-sourcemap.json
- Upload the generated file "android-sourcemap.json" at your project’s root directory.
Uploading Source Maps Automatically
For your app crashes to show up with a fully symbolicated/deobfuscated stack trace, we will automatically generate the source map files and upload them to your dashboard on release build. To do so, we rely on your app token being explicitly added to Instabug.startWithToken('YOUR_APP_TOKEN')
in JavaScript.
If your app token is defined as a constant or you have different tokens for both iOS and Android apps, set the token as shown in the sections below.
iOS
To enable automatic uploading on iOS, follow the below steps:
1 - Navigate to the build phases of your project in Xcode
2 - Expand "Upload Sourcemap"
3 - You should find the below lines. You only need to replace YOUR_APP_TOKEN
with your token from the dashboard.
export INSTABUG_APP_TOKEN="YOUR_APP_TOKEN"
bash "../node_modules/instabug-reactnative/ios/upload_sourcemap.sh"
Android
For your app crashes to show up with a fully deobfuscated stack trace, we will automatically generate the source map files and upload them to your dashboard on release build. To do so, we rely on your app token being explicitly added to Instabug.start('YOUR_APP_TOKEN')
in JavaScript.
If your app token is defined as a constant, you can set an environment variable INSTABUG_APP_TOKEN
to be used instead.
We also automatically read your versionName
and versionCode
to upload your sourcemap file. Alternatively, you can also set the environment variables INSTABUG_APP_VERSION_NAME
and INSTABUG_APP_VERSION_CODE
to be used instead.
To disable the automatic upload on Android, you can set the following property in your build.gradle:
ext {
instabugUploadEnable = false;
}
Uploading Files via API
Additionally, we have an API end point that you can use to upload your dSYMs, mapping files, and source map files directly from the console. dSYMs must be uploaded as a .zip file. Mapping files must be uploaded as .txt files, and source map files must be uploaded as JSON files. Files should be uploaded one by one.

After a crash has been symbolicated/deobfuscated and the fix is done, reach out to your affected users and let them know to update.
