const myUserId = "@chakerthehacker:matrix.org";
const myAccessToken = "im not leaking my token";
const matrixClient = sdk.createClient({
baseUrl: "https://matrix-client.matrix.org",
accessToken: myAccessToken,

Research direction

Start with matrixClient.startClient() and the stack trace location node_modules/matrix-js-sdk/lib/sync.js:505, then trace the getPushRules call in a React Native environment. Done means startup no longer reports the document ReferenceError and the client can proceed through login and sync.
