📜 Description

Exposes the public sentry-cocoa enableMemoryIntrospection option (added in cocoa 9.24.0, PR getsentry/sentry-cocoa#8571) as a typed, documented iOS option on ReactNativeOptions.

When the SDK captures a native crash (e.g. EXC_BAD_ACCESS), SentryCrash reads memory near the crash site and embeds string-based stack contents in the event, which can expose sensitive information (user IDs, personal data) — sometimes even in the issue title. This option lets privacy-sensitive apps keep native crash reporting while omitting memory contents.

iOS-only (@platform ios), @default false (matches Cocoa's default since 9.24.0).
No ObjC bridging needed — iOS options pass straight through to Cocoa via optionsFromDictionary, so the plain SentryOptions.enableMemoryIntrospection boolean is set automatically.
The prior blocker (bundled Cocoa < 9.24.0) is resolved — the SDK now bundles Cocoa 9.27.0.

💡 Motivation and Context

Fixes #6547. Gives privacy-sensitive apps a supported toggle to omit crash-site memory contents from native iOS crash reports.

💚 How did you test it?

Added Swift native tests in RNSentryStartTests.swift:

testMemoryIntrospectionOption — passing enableMemoryIntrospection: true from the RN options dictionary reaches SentrySDK.internal.options.enableMemoryIntrospection.
testMemoryIntrospectionOptionDefault — the option defaults to false when omitted.

Also verified locally: yarn build:sdk, yarn api-report:check (up to date), yarn lint:lerna.

📝 Checklist

I added tests to verify changes.
No new PII added or SDK only sends newly added PII if sendDefaultPII is enabled.
I updated the docs if needed.
I updated the wizard if needed.
All tests passing.
Public API changes reviewed by another Mobile SDK team member or implemented according to the develop docs spec.
No breaking changes.

Add wrapper.test.ts coverage mirroring the enableMetricKit tests, so the bridge passthrough is validated at the boundary and future refactors can't silently drop the option. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
