From native objc code, you need to use @import Sentry; and not #import <Sentry/Sentry.h> to be able to use session replay.

Can you check whether this works for the customer?

Unfortunately my project is incompatible with the “-fmodules” and “-fcxx-modules” parameters.

Defining these parameters causes the following error in a header file in my project.

import of C++ module 'std_stdint_h' appears within extern "C" language linkage specification [-Wmodule-import-in-extern-c]

Hello @barisyild
In this case, you will need to create a objc wrapper class to start Sentry and enable “-fmodules” and “-fcxx-modules” only for that file.

Obviously this limits me a lot because I'm using the haxe language and I haven't found a way to do this.

Sorry about that. We will investigate an alternative for this problem.

@barisyild alongside #import <Sentry/Sentry.h> can you try importing #import <Sentry/Sentry-Swift.h>?

When I import this header, the following error occurs.

Hello @barisyild, Im working on a fix for this problem, can you try our SDK from this link: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-cocoa/actions/runs/12086165036/artifacts/2254223229

Inside of it you will find all the versions of our SDK, you can keep using Sentry-Dynamic.xcframework.

Now it compiles.

Perfect! I believe we can proceed with this solution.

[brustolin]

Hello @barisyild, unfortunately the given solution is not ideal for us, we're trying an alternative.

One question: Are you using cocoapod to add Sentry to your project?

I place directly to the folder.

Strange, Im not able to reproduce it with the framework with the current release. This one: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-cocoa/releases/download/8.41.0/Sentry-Dynamic.xcframework.zip

Can you try this?
