Summary

Makes error text in LogBox selectable and adds a "Copy" button to
easily copy the full error to clipboard.

Changes:

  • Added selectable={true} to Text components that display error
    messages, stack frames, and code frames in LogBox
  • Added a "Copy" button in the error message header that copies the
    full error (title, message, and stack trace) as plain text

Changelog

[General][Added] - LogBox error text is now selectable and includes a
Copy button to copy the full error with stack trace

Test Plan

  1. Trigger an error in a React Native app to open LogBox
  2. Verify you can long-press and select text in:
    - The error message
    - The stack frame method names and file locations
    - The code frame source preview
  3. Tap the "Copy" button next to the error title
  4. Paste in a text editor and verify it contains:
    - The error title (e.g., "Console Error")
    - The error message
    - The full stack trace formatted as:
Console Error

Hey! Just checking in on this one — it's been sitting for a couple months now. It's a pretty simple change: just makes the error text in LogBox selectable so you can copy-paste it. The failing CI check is unrelated to my changes (missing metro-babel-register in their script). Would love to get this merged if someone has a sec to review!
