Sentry.init()

Sentry.init({
dsn: SENTRY_DNS,
tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
debug: isDebug(),
environment: getEnvironment(),
tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
_experiments: {
profilesSampleRate: 1.0,
replaysSessionSampleRate: 1.0,
replaysOnErrorSampleRate: 1.0,
},
enableAppStartTracking: true,
enableNativeFramesTracking: true,
enableStallTracking: true,
enableUserInteractionTracing: true,
integrations: [
this.reactNavigationIntegration,
Sentry.mobileReplayIntegration({
maskAllText: false,
maskAllImages: false,
maskAllVectors: false,
}),
],
})

Steps to Reproduce

The bug occurs after updating sentry from 5.31.1 to 6.1.0.
Nothing has changed in the native code for the bug to occur.

Two conditions must be true for the bug to occur:

• A foreground service must be running.
• The values replaysSessionSampleRate and replaysOnErrorSampleRate , must be different from 0.
  if one of these conditions is not true, the bug will not occur.

here's how the bug occurs.
-When I open the app for the first time, everything works fine, and when I put the app in the background, everything works.
-I close the app and the service remains active.
-I open the app a second time,
-As soon as I set the app to background, it crashes instantly.

==> to recap, with no service running in background, the app doesn't crash, and when replaysSessionSampleRate and replaysOnErrorSampleRate are equal to 0, the app doesn't crash.

Expected Result

Sentry Replay is no longer functional, so this version should be patched as soon as possible, otherwise it will be lost in v6.

A big thank you to our friend @vooban-work for his post #4234 , which helped me diagnose the problem.
