#### Expo

In Expo managed projects, you can disable uploads directly in the plugin configuration using the `disableAutoUpload` option. This bakes the setting into the native projects during `expo prebuild`, so uploads are disabled even when building from the Xcode GUI where environment variables aren't available.

```javascript
// app.config.js
const { withSentry } = require("@sentry/react-native/expo");

const config = {
name: "my-app",
slug: "my-app",
};

module.exports = withSentry(config, {
project: "my-project",
organization: "my-org",
disableAutoUpload: true,
});
```
Comment thread
sentry[bot] marked this conversation as resolved.

You can also set the environment variable when running builds from the CLI:

```bash
SENTRY_DISABLE_AUTO_UPLOAD=true npx expo run:ios
SENTRY_DISABLE_AUTO_UPLOAD=true npx expo run:android
```

Or in `eas.json` for EAS builds:

```json
{
"build": {
"development": {
"env": {
"SENTRY_DISABLE_AUTO_UPLOAD": "true"
}
}
}
}
```

### Debug Builds

Symbolication is handled directly by the Metro development server, automatically providing the symbolication needed to translate stack traces into readable source code in a development environment. There's no need to upload source maps for these types of builds which is why the automatic uploading of source maps is disabled.
