Research direction

Start by locating the app-start transaction code and the standalone opt-in, then trace how legacy app starts are attached to ui.load. Confirm the change across the SDK paths, and verify that standalone starts are enabled by default while legacy ui.load app starts are absent.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Improvement React-Native

The next major should make standalone app starts the default (and only) option for app start transactions.

DOD:

  • Standalone app starts are enabled by default (flip/remove the standalone opt-in)
  • Legacy app starts attached to the ui.load transaction are no longer in the SDK
