I have been seeing this only from "Google 354.0.720749604" and "Google 355.0.723646882" on iOS (many versions). It seems likely it has something to do with the browser, not anyone's code (or maybe an interaction with Vite?) I'm using Nuxt, personally.

This was happening with a manual integration via @sentry/browser, though I haven't seen it yet (which doesn't mean a lot) on any release that uses @sentry/nuxt, which I switched to recently to specifically to try to get more information on what this error was (actually enabling source maps and such).

This thread may help! The-Best-Codes/bestcodes-react-site#65 looks like it's something to do with Google search app on ios

Hi @mhmtclk1705 thanks for filing this and thanks everyone else for chiming in with what this is.

As it's out of our hands, I can only suggest filtering these errors out for now. See https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/configuration/integrations/inboundfilters/ for more info.

I don't think this issue is a problem with Sentry. HoneyBadger and a few other issue trackers have been seeing it too.

Yep, I'll leave this open for now for people to find, but the recommendation is to filter these out for now.
