How to crash react native app on purpose?

Question

I have already seen this one, but I don’t want extra packages on my hand I have also tried to throw exception but it was quite slow and created many other problems, all I want is a piece of code that just crashes the app

what about making any null pointer exception or division by zero ? Does not that work? — Gonzalo.-, Apr 09 '19 at 13:24

TypeScript

  const test: any = {};
  console.log(test.should.crash);

Will cause

TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'test.should.crash')

Consider that you can't crash app on development. these answers cause crash on production releases only

I crash ALL THE TIME in dev mode...? – Shep Sims Jan 24 '23 at 00:13
@ShepSims I don't work with react native now-days, at that moment it didn't crash on development. no idea about the latest version in case it's your meant. – Parham Heidari Jan 25 '23 at 16:13

just add any string outside of a <Text/> block

i.e.

<View>hello world</View>

You can crash the app by requesting Camera without adding the key NSCameraUsageDescription in Info.plist. It'll crash the app without warning.
