Built-in SDK events like `session_start` not firing w/hooks integration (Expo SDK 53+)

[bradleybernard]

I thought I saw in docs online that things like session_start would be fired automatically, but for my app (Expo SDK 53+) using the hooks integration, I don't see that firing. I see app_open and device_attributes but not session_start like I'd expect. Is that supposed to fire automatically? If so, how?

Are you still experiencing this issue? This is quite odd since the event handling is done on the native level, so should just work

Hey just wanted to check in if this is still an issue @bradleybernard

[bradleybernard]

Haven't had a test to try it out, will report back tonight when I have a moment, thanks!

Yup still getting this @Makisuo . I'm getting app_open and all that, but not session_start, am I supposed to call something in specific for that?

Actually it seems it only happens on release builds, doesn't fire on dev builds (using Expo development build). Seems to work fine if I open up the ios folder and do a Release iOS build, then launch the app myself. Maybe worth calling out in docs?

Here it is showing up on a release build:
