feat(replay): Default networkCaptureBodies to true#6372
Merged
Conversation
… parity
Flip the default of `mobileReplayIntegration({ networkCaptureBodies })`\nfrom `false` to `true` so the React Native SDK matches the iOS and\nAndroid native SDKs out of the box.\n\nThe original opt-in default was conservative because body capture can\ncarry sensitive payloads, but the opt-in step is already covered by\n`networkDetailAllowUrls`: bodies are only recorded for URLs the user\nexplicitly lists there (empty by default). Splitting that into a\nseparate `networkCaptureBodies` flag duplicated the gate and put us\nout of step with the native defaults, which has been confusing for\nusers expecting bodies to flow once they allow-listed a URL.\n\nUsers who want to keep header-only capture for allow-listed URLs can\nset `networkCaptureBodies: false` explicitly.\n\nJSDoc updated to describe the new behaviour and the fact that the\nallow-list is the real opt-in. All existing tests still pass.

| - Default `mobileReplayIntegration({ networkCaptureBodies })` to `true`, matching the iOS and Android native SDK defaults. Bodies are still only recorded for URLs explicitly listed in `networkDetailAllowUrls` (empty by default); the previous opt-in step is now part of the allow-list, not a separate flag. Set `networkCaptureBodies: false` to keep header-only capture for allow-listed URLs. ([#6372](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-react-native/pull/6372)) |
