📢 Type of change
📜 Description
Adds a
SENTRY_PROJECT_ROOTenvironment variable to override the project root insentry-xcode.shandsentry-xcode-debug-files.sh.Both scripts previously hardcoded the project root as
PROJECT_DIR/.., which fails in monorepo setups (e.g., NX) where theios/directory is not directly under the React Native project root. Symlinkednode_modulescausespwdto resolve to the monorepo root instead of the package directory.The new env var uses the standard
${SENTRY_PROJECT_ROOT:-${PROJECT_DIR}/..}pattern, consistent with other overridable env vars in these scripts (NODE_BINARY,REACT_NATIVE_PATH,SENTRY_PROPERTIES, etc.).When not set, behavior is identical to before.
💡 Motivation and Context
Fixes #2880 — reported in 2023, confirmed still relevant as of April 2025.
Monorepo users (NX, Turborepo) have been working around this by manually modifying their Xcode build phases. This provides an official, supported override.
