• "react": "16.8.6",
• "react-native": "0.60.5",
• NOTE: with or without Hermes does not change anything

I found the origin of the crash and a workaround (at least for my case).

The origin is setUser method that does not support anything else than string for data (my case I just needed id).

Sentry.setUser({
   id: SOME_ID, // will crash if id is not a string, ex: a number will crash ‼️
});

@HazAT
Found out new details. Please analyze the situation
If in sentry config to use the domain
defaults.url=https://sentry.io/
Everything works fine
If you use a company domain
defaults.url=https://sentrylogs.mycompany.com/
Then on only Android 9 it does not work (works fine iOS, Android 8)

The test was conducted on a simple application

@MacKentoch
Good work!!

Can confirm crash logs are not being sent properly when id in setUser is an integer on 1.0.6.

Same here. Thanks to @MacKentoch for the workaround!

It seems that this is the same as #695.
