 ### Fixes
 
+- Retry native module resolution to prevent silent event drops in production Hermes builds ([#5981](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-react-native/pull/5981))
 - Lazy-load Metro internal modules to prevent Expo 55 import errors ([#5958](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-react-native/pull/5958))
 - Fix app start transaction profile offset by using the actual profiling start timestamp instead of the adjusted app start time ([#5962](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-react-native/issues/5962))
 - Use React `componentStack` as fallback when error has no stack trace on Android ([#5965](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-react-native/pull/5965))
