    "incantation": "When Xcode release auto-discovery needs Info.plist preprocessing, run `sentry-cli releases propose-version --allow-xcode-infoplist-preprocessing` only for a trusted project; otherwise use the default, which disables preprocessing. The same flag is documented in `send-event`; the release note also names `bash-hook --send-event` and `react-native xcode` as affected.",

      "sentry-cli releases propose-version --allow-xcode-infoplist-preprocessing",

    "gotchas": [
      "Version: 2.58.6",
      "--allow-xcode-infoplist-preprocessing: Boolean flag; allows Info.plist preprocessing with `cc`, passing Xcode project settings to the compiler. Do not use with untrusted code.",
      "Prerequisite: Use the flag only for trusted projects that require preprocessing.",
      "Preprocessing is enabled only when `--allow-xcode-infoplist-preprocessing` is used for a trusted project that requires it.",
      "The change affects release inference for `sentry-cli releases propose-version`, `sentry-cli send-event`, `sentry-cli bash-hook --send-event`, and auto-release detection for `sentry-cli react-native xcode`."
