Description
Overview
LogBox handles most errors users see but we still display native RedBoxes in cases where:
- JavaScript has not loaded (e.g. Metro is unavailable)
- JavaScript is unavailable (e.g. a syntax error in the bundle)
- LogBox fails to render (e.g. an error in LogBox JavaScript)
- Native log errors (e.g. RCTLogFatal)
This issue is to improve the fallback RedBox in these cases for a better experience.
Tasks
- Update design to be in line with LogBox (see below)
- Cleanup code by removing the symbolication logic (as this is handled by LogBox)
- Remove stack trace since for all errors that this can occur the stack trace is not relevant
