+# Source maps — JavaScript / TypeScript
+
+Applies to browser, Node, and every JS framework SDK. The per-framework plugin config
+lives in that platform’s `sdks/<slug>/index.md`; this file covers what the build has to
+produce, the CI-friendly fallback, and the traps.
+
+## Two things must both be true
+
+1. **The build emits source maps.** No maps, nothing to upload.
+   Bundlers disable them in production by default.
+2. **The maps reach Sentry, tied to the built files.** Modern SDKs do this with **Debug
+   IDs** — a unique id injected into both the minified file and its map, so matching
+   doesn’t depend on release names, paths, or URLs.
+
+Emitting maps is a per-bundler setting (`build.sourcemap` in Vite, `devtool` in webpack,
+`productionBrowserSourceMaps` / framework plugin defaults in Next.js).
+Prefer **hidden** maps for browser builds — generated and uploaded, but without the
+`//# sourceMappingURL` comment that points browsers at them:
+
+```typescript
+// vite.config.ts
+export default defineConfig({
+  build: { sourcemap: "hidden" },
+});
+```
+
+## Path A — the bundler plugin (preferred)
+
+`@sentry/vite-plugin`, `@sentry/webpack-plugin`, `@sentry/rollup-plugin`,
+`@sentry/esbuild-plugin`, or the framework wrapper that embeds one (`withSentryConfig`
+for Next.js, the SvelteKit and Nuxt plugins).
+The plugin injects Debug IDs, uploads on production builds, and can delete the maps
+afterward so they don’t ship to users.
+Read the platform’s `index.md` for the exact snippet; all of them take the same three
+values from the environment — `SENTRY_ORG`, `SENTRY_PROJECT`, `SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN`.
+
+Two options worth setting deliberately:
+
+- **Delete maps after upload** — keeps `.map` files out of the deployed bundle while
+  still uploading them.
+  Do this for public web apps.
+- **Widen the upload** (Next.js `widenClientFileUpload: true`) — uploads more client
+  files, which fixes frames that otherwise land in framework-internal chunks.
+
+## Path B — `sentry-cli` (CI, custom builds, plain Node)
+
+When there’s no supported bundler or the build is bespoke.
+Two steps, in order — inject first, then upload:
+
+```bash
+sentry-cli sourcemaps inject ./dist
+sentry-cli sourcemaps upload ./dist
+```
+
+`inject` writes the Debug IDs; `upload` sends the files.
+Running `upload` alone still works but falls back to legacy release/path matching, which
+is far more fragile.
+Wire both into the build script so they can’t drift apart:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "build": "tsc && sentry-cli sourcemaps inject ./dist && sentry-cli sourcemaps upload ./dist"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Path C — the wizard
+
+```
+npx @sentry/wizard@latest -i sourcemaps
+```
+
+Detects the bundler, installs the right plugin, and sets up the token.
+It is interactive (browser login), so the **user** runs it, not the agent.
+Note it configures upload only — it does not initialize the SDK.
+
+## Node specifics
+
+Server-side frames need the maps for the _compiled output that runs_ (`./dist`,
+`.next/server`), not the TypeScript sources.
+If you run TypeScript directly (`tsx`, `ts-node`, Bun), frames are usually already
+readable and no upload is needed — confirm that before adding a build step nobody needs.
+

+| Uploaded, frames still minified     | Upload ran without `inject`, so no Debug IDs                           | Add `sourcemaps inject` before `upload`                      |
+| Only _some_ frames readable         | Partial upload — a chunk or the framework’s own bundle wasn’t included | Widen the upload path / `widenClientFileUpload`              |
+| Was fine, broke after a deploy      | Upload happens after deploy, or a build cache reused stale maps        | Move upload into the build, before deploy                    |
+| `.map` files served to users        | Maps emitted with `sourceMappingURL` and not deleted                   | Use `hidden` maps + delete-after-upload                      |
+| Frames readable but no code context | Only maps uploaded; source content missing from them                   | Ensure the bundler embeds `sourcesContent` (usually default) |

+# Artifacts exist but don’t match the event
+
+This is a different failure from “nothing was uploaded,” and uploading again won’t fix
+it. Something about _this_ event doesn’t line up with _those_ artifacts.
+Work the four causes in order — they’re ranked by how often they’re the answer.
+
+## 1. The artifacts were uploaded after the event happened
+
+Symbolication happens when the event is processed, not when you open it.
+An event that arrived before the upload stays unreadable, and that is correct behaviour
+rather than a bug to chase.
+
+**Check:** compare the event timestamp to when the upload ran (the release/artifact
+creation time in Sentry, or the CI log).
+**Fix:** trigger a new event from the current build.
+If the fix is real, the new event is readable and the old one stays broken.
+Don’t judge a fix by re-reading the old event.
+
+Native/Apple events are the exception: they can be
+[reprocessed](https://docs.sentry.io/product/issues/reprocessing/) to apply debug files
+uploaded after the fact — an opt-in step you trigger from the issue, with no equivalent
+for source maps. It repairs the old event but proves nothing about the build, so still
+confirm on a new one.
+
+## 2. The build that uploaded isn’t the build that shipped
+
+Any rebuild between upload and deploy invalidates the link — new bundle hashes for JS, a
+new binary UUID for native.
+
+**Check:** did the upload run locally while CI produced the deployed artifact?
+Did a rebuild or a cached build step run after the upload?
+**Fix:** upload from the same job that produces the shipped artifact, before deploy.
+
+## 3. The identifier doesn’t match
+
+Which identifier depends on the platform:
+
+| Platform                     | Identifier                                                    | What goes wrong                                                                                                                                  |
+| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| JavaScript (modern)          | **Debug ID** injected into both the minified file and its map | `sourcemaps upload` ran without `sourcemaps inject`, so there’s no Debug ID to match on and it silently falls back to legacy matching            |
+| JavaScript (legacy)          | `release` + `dist` + file path                                | The `release` in `Sentry.init()` doesn’t equal the release the artifacts were uploaded under; or paths don’t line up with the URLs frames report |

+| React Native (manual upload) | `release` as `packageName@version+build`                      | Hand-written `--release` differs from what the SDK reports at runtime                                                                            |
+
+**Fix for JS:** add `sentry-cli sourcemaps inject` before `upload`, or use the bundler
+plugin — Debug IDs remove this entire class of problem.
+Only fall back to aligning `release`/`dist` if Debug IDs genuinely aren’t available.
+**Fix for native:** re-upload the artifacts from the archive that shipped.
+
+## 4. Right artifacts, wrong place
+
+**Check:** the org and project the upload targeted (`SENTRY_ORG` / `SENTRY_PROJECT`)
+versus the project the event landed in.
+A monorepo with several Sentry projects, or a token scoped to one project while the DSN
+points at another, produces uploads that succeed into the wrong place.
+**Fix:** align the upload’s org/project with the DSN’s project.
+
+## Where the authority is
+
+The **event’s debug-images / processing-errors information in Sentry** — not the build
+log — tells you whether Sentry looked for an artifact and whether it found one.
+A green upload step plus an unreadable frame means matching, every time.
+For native, `sentry-cli debug-files` can confirm what Sentry holds for a given UUID
+before you rebuild anything.
+
+## If all four check out
+
+Consider that the frames may not be symbolicatable at all: third-party or vendored code
+with no maps published, an eval’d or dynamically-generated bundle, a stripped
+single-file binary, or a platform whose frames were never minified in the first place.
+Say so plainly rather than continuing to upload — “these frames can’t be mapped, here’s
+why” is a real answer.

+# Source maps + debug files — React Native / Expo
+
+React Native is the one platform where **four** artifacts matter, and fixing one family
+leaves the other broken.
+A JS error and a native crash from the same app symbolicate through different pipelines.
+
+| Layer            | Artifact                                      | Produced during             |
+| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
+| iOS — JS         | Source maps (`.map`; Hermes emits `.hbc.map`) | Xcode build                 |
+| iOS — native     | dSYM bundles                                  | Xcode archive / Xcode Cloud |
+| Android — JS     | Source maps (+ Hermes bytecode map)           | Gradle build                |
+| Android — native | ProGuard/R8 mapping, NDK `.so` symbols        | Gradle build                |
+
+Decide up front which layer the unreadable frames are in: a JS stack (`.tsx`, `bundle`)
+is the source-map path; a native stack (addresses, ObjC/Java symbols) is the debug-file
+path.
+
+## Expo — automatic
+
+The `@sentry/react-native/expo` config plugin wires the upload hooks into native builds.
+Maps upload during `eas build` and during local release builds, as long as the token is
+in the environment:
+
+```bash
+SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN=<token> npx expo run:ios --configuration Release
+```
+
+For EAS, put `SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN` in EAS secrets — an EAS build cannot see your local env
+file.
+
+## Bare React Native — the wizard
+
+```
+npx @sentry/wizard@latest -i reactNative
+```
+
+Interactive, so the **user** runs it.
+This is the path to prefer: it patches the Xcode bundle-and-upload build phase _and_ the
+Gradle side, which is exactly the wiring that’s error-prone by hand.
+Verify afterward that both platforms were patched — the wizard can succeed on one and
+skip the other if a project layout is unusual.
+
+## Bare React Native — manual JS upload
+
+When the build hooks can’t be used:
+
+```bash
+npx sentry-cli sourcemaps upload \
+  --org YOUR_ORG \
+  --project YOUR_PROJECT \
+  --release "my-app@1.0.0+1" \
+  ./dist
+```
+
+The release name must match what the SDK reports at runtime
+(`packageName@version+build`), or the upload won’t attach to events.
+Prefer the build-hook path precisely because it derives that value for you.
+
+## Native side
+
+The native halves are the same procedures as the standalone platforms — `apple.md` for
+dSYM upload, `android.md` for ProGuard/R8 and NDK symbols.
+The RN build hooks handle these too when the wizard has wired them; the standalone
+references are what you need when uploading after the fact or from CI.
+

+| ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| JS frames readable, native crash isn’t (or vice versa) | Only one artifact family is wired                                  | Do the other layer — this is the default RN failure                         |
+| Frames show Hermes bytecode offsets                    | Hermes map not uploaded                                            | Ensure the build hook runs for the Hermes output, not just the plain bundle |
+| Works on `expo run:ios`, not on EAS                    | Token in local env only                                            | Add it to EAS secrets                                                       |
+| Upload succeeds, frames unchanged                      | Manual upload’s `--release` doesn’t match the runtime release/dist | Use the build hooks, or align the release name exactly                      |
+| Only Android fixed after the wizard                    | Wizard patched one platform                                        | Re-run and confirm both the Xcode phase and the Gradle wiring exist         |
+| Dev-build frames unreadable                            | Metro dev bundles don’t need upload                                | Test on a release build instead                                             |

+# Creating the release in CI — commits, finalize, deploy
+
+The SDK half tags events.
+This half creates the **release object** in Sentry and hangs the useful metadata off it.
+Both halves are required; neither works alone.
+
+## Why bother, when Sentry auto-creates releases
+
+Sentry creates a release entity the first time it sees an event carrying an unknown
+release name. That auto-created release is a bare label: no commits, so no suspect
+commits from release data and no `Fixes` resolution; no finalize timestamp, so “resolve
+in next release” has nothing to anchor to; no deploy, so no deploy notifications.
+Creating it deliberately in CI is what turns the label into the feature set.
+
+## Where it goes in the pipeline
+
+Order matters, and getting it wrong is the most common reason a correct-looking setup
+does nothing:
+
+1. **Check out with full git history.** Commit association walks the log between the
+   previous release and `HEAD`. A shallow clone (CI default) has nothing to walk — on
+   GitHub Actions that means `fetch-depth: 0`.
+2. **Build**, with the release name baked in (see [`tagging.md`](tagging.md)).
+3. **Create the release and upload artifacts** — source maps or debug files, from _this_
+   build.
+4. **Associate commits.**
+5. **Finalize** the release.
+6. **Deploy**, then **record the deploy** into its environment.
+
+The rule underneath it: the release step runs **after the build, before the deploy**,
+and the files you deploy must be the files that were built when the artifacts were
+uploaded. Uploading after deploy means events arrive before Sentry can process them.
+
+Every path below needs an auth token — it’s a write to your org.
+See [`../auth-token.md`](../auth-token.md); the token, `SENTRY_ORG`, and
+`SENTRY_PROJECT` are the same three variables for all of them.
+
+## Path A — a JavaScript bundler plugin (check this first)
+
+If the project already builds with `@sentry/webpack-plugin`, `@sentry/vite-plugin`,
+`@sentry/rollup-plugin`, `@sentry/esbuild-plugin`, or a framework SDK that wraps one
+(`@sentry/nextjs`, `@sentry/sveltekit`, `@sentry/react-router`,
+`@sentry/tanstackstart-react`, `@sentry/nuxt`), **most of this is already happening.**
+Do not add a parallel `sentry-cli` pipeline next to it — you’ll get two releases
+fighting over the same name.
+Configure the plugin instead:
+
+```js
+sentryVitePlugin({
+  org: process.env.SENTRY_ORG,
+  project: process.env.SENTRY_PROJECT,
+  authToken: process.env.SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN,
+
+  release: {
+    // name:      defaults to a detected CI value, else the git HEAD SHA
+    // inject:    true  — injects the name into the bundle for the SDK
+    // create:    true  — creates the release in Sentry
+    // finalize:  true  — finalizes when the build ends
+    // setCommits: { auto: true } — associates commits
+    deploy: { env: "production" },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+The defaults do the right thing: `inject`, `create`, and `finalize` are all `true`, and
+`setCommits` defaults to `{auto: true}`. In practice there are only three things to
+check:
+
+- **`deploy` is not set by default** — add `deploy: {env: '<environment>'}` to get
+  deploy tracking.
+- **Commit association still needs git history in CI.** The plugin shells out to the
+  same logic `sentry-cli` uses, so `fetch-depth: 0` applies here too.
+- `release.name` is unset and undetectable (no git, no recognized CI) → **no release is
+  created at all**, silently.
+  Set it explicitly in that case.
+
+Useful escapes: `setCommits: {auto: true, ignoreMissing: true}` when history is
+rewritten by squash-merges, `setCommits: {repo: 'owner/name', commit: '<sha>'}` when the
+build has no repo access, `setCommits: false` to opt out, and `release.vcsRemote` if the
+remote isn’t `origin`.
+
+## Path B — GitHub Actions
+
+For everything that isn’t a JS bundler build, `getsentry/action-release` is the shortest
+correct path. It creates the release, associates commits, finalizes, and records the
+deploy in one step:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: actions/checkout@v4
+  with:
+    fetch-depth: 0 # required: commit association needs history
+
+# ... your build steps here ...
+
+- name: Create Sentry release
+  uses: getsentry/action-release@v3
+  env:
+    SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN }}
+    SENTRY_ORG: ${{ secrets.SENTRY_ORG }}
+    SENTRY_PROJECT: ${{ secrets.SENTRY_PROJECT }}
+  with:
+    environment: production
+    release: ${{ github.sha }} # optional; defaults to the triggering commit SHA
+    sourcemaps: ./dist # only if you have JS source maps to upload
+```
+
+The action’s default release name is the GitHub SHA that triggered the workflow — fine,
+as long as the SDK tags the same value.
+Wire `SENTRY_RELEASE=${{ github.sha }}` into the build step if you rely on that default.
+
+Self-hosted Sentry also needs `SENTRY_URL`.
+
+## Path C — `sentry-cli`, any CI
+
+The explicit form.
+Use it for CI providers without an integration, for mobile builds, and
+whenever you need to see each step:
+
+```bash
+export SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN=...      # from CI secrets
+export SENTRY_ORG=my-org
+export SENTRY_PROJECT=my-project
+
+VERSION=$(sentry-cli releases propose-version)   # or your own version string
+
+sentry-cli releases new "$VERSION"
+
+# ... build, and upload source maps / debug files for this build ...
+
+sentry-cli releases set-commits "$VERSION" --auto
+sentry-cli releases finalize "$VERSION"
+
+# ... deploy ...
+
+sentry-cli deploys new --release "$VERSION" -e production
+```
+
+Notes on the individual steps:
+
+- **`new`** takes multiple projects when a release spans them:
+  `-p project1 -p project2`. Remember releases are org-global — prefix the version
+  accordingly.
+- **`--finalize`** on `new` collapses steps 1 and 5 if you don’t need the window in
+  between. Finalizing separately, at deploy time, is more accurate: the finalize
+  timestamp is what “the next release” means when resolving issues, and it’s the base
+  release for `--auto` commit association.
+- **`set-commits --auto`** discovers the repo from the working directory and associates
+  everything between the previous release’s head commit and the current `HEAD`. With no
+  SCM integration installed it falls back to the local git tree (the last 10–20 commits
+  on a first release, tunable with `--initial-depth`); `--local` makes that fallback the
+  explicit default.
+- When the build can’t reach the repo, name the commits: `--commit "owner/repo@<sha>"`,
+  repeated per repo, or a range `--commit "owner/repo@<prev>..<current>"`. The repo name
+  must match what it’s called in Sentry — `sentry-cli repos list` prints the valid
+  names.
+- **`--ignore-missing`** rescues `set-commits` when a commit from the previous release
+  no longer exists (amend, rebase, squash-merge, force-push).
+  It falls back to the default commit count instead of failing the build.
+- **`deploys new`** accepts `-t <seconds>` to record how long the deploy took, and
+  `deploys list --release "$VERSION"` to read them back.
+  Deploys can’t be deleted.
+
+### Sending commit metadata without the CLI
+
+When the deploy environment can’t run `sentry-cli` at all, POST the commits with the
+release. This is also the path for orgs that won’t connect an SCM integration:
+
+```bash
+curl https://sentry.io/api/0/organizations/<org>/releases/ \
+  -X POST \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN" \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{
+    "version": "2.0rc2",
+    "projects": ["project-1"],
+    "commits": [{
+      "id": "8371445ab8a9facd271df17038ff295a48accae7",
+      "repository": "owner-name/repo-name",
+      "author_name": "Author Name",
+      "author_email": "author@example.com",
+      "timestamp": "2018-09-20T11:50:22+03:00",
+      "message": "This is the commit message.",
+      "patch_set": [
+        {"path": "path/to/added-file.html", "type": "A"},
+        {"path": "path/to/modified-file.html", "type": "M"},
+        {"path": "path/to/deleted-file.html", "type": "D"}
+      ]
+    }]
+  }'
+```
+
+Two fields carry the weight: **`patch_set`** (types `A`dd, `M`odify, `D`elete) is what
+powers suspect commits and suggested assignees — omit it and you get a commit list and
+nothing else — and **`author_email`** is what makes the suggested assignee resolvable.
+`timestamp` controls ordering; without it, commits stay in the order given.
+
+## Path D — mobile and Flutter
+
+The SDK build plugins on these platforms upload **artifacts** but do not manage
+releases, with one exception:
+
+| Platform       | Release object                                                                                                                                                                          |
+| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Flutter / Dart | `sentry_dart_plugin` handles it — `release` defaults to `name@version` from `pubspec.yaml` and `commits` defaults to `auto`. `ignore_missing: true` is available for rewritten history. |
+| Android        | The Gradle plugin uploads mappings and source bundles only. Create the release from CI with Path B or C, using the same `packageName@versionName+versionCode` string the SDK tags.      |
+| Apple / Cocoa  | The Xcode build phase uploads dSYMs only. Same: create the release from CI.                                                                                                             |
+| React Native   | The bundled `sentry-cli` build integration creates the release for default names. Custom `release`/`dist` values break it — then it’s Path C, plus manual source map upload.            |
