Build fails on RN 0.76.7 + Sentry 6.14.0 (New Architecture) — Unsupported type: StringLiteralUnionTypeAnnotation

[mohib-uddin]

What React Native libraries do you use?

React Native without Frameworks, RN New Architecture, Hermes

Are you using sentry.io or on-premise?

sentry.io (SaS)

@sentry/react-native SDK Version

6.14.0

How does your development environment look like?

I’m encountering a fatal build error when trying to run my React Native app using React Native v0.76.7, Sentry React Native v6.14.0, and New Architecture enabled.

Environment:

• React Native version: 0.76.7

• Sentry React Native version: 6.14.0

• Node.js version: v22.11.0

• Gradle: 8.10.2

• Android Gradle Plugin: 8.6.0

• New Architecture: ✅ Enabled

• OS: Windows

Sentry.init()

Sentry.init({
  dsn: 'https://...@sentry.io/...'
  // other options
});

Steps to Reproduce

i) Install Sentry React Native v6.14.0

ii) Enable New Architecture in react-native.config.js

iii) Run: npm run android (with react-native run-android)

iv) Observe crash during codegen step

Expected Result

The project builds and runs without errors using the new architecture.

Actual Result

C:\Users\nonr\Desktop\Projects\Freelance\consumer\app\node_modules\react-native\node_modules@react-native\codegen\lib\generators\modules\GenerateModuleH.js:256
throw new Error(createErrorMessage(realTypeAnnotation.type));

Thank you for opening this PR. We will review it and get back to you once our investigation is complete.

Update: I tried using versions 6.12 and 6.10 as well, but the same error persists. The error goes away if I disable the new architecture, but that significantly reduces the app’s performance.
