Based on this guide https://docs.expo.dev/bare/using-expo-client/#use-conditional-inline-requires-to-provide-fallbacks

create a file LogRocketInit.js

import Constants from 'expo-constants';
import { useEffect } from 'react';


export default function LogRocketInit() {
  useEffect(() => {
    if (Constants.appOwnership !== 'expo') {
      const LogRocket = require('@logrocket/react-native');
      LogRocket.init('****');
    }
  }, []);

  return null;
}

then add it to App.js as normal

export default function App() {
  return (
       ...
       <LogRocketInit />
       ...
}

in case you need to use it in another place, use this

   if (Constants.appOwnership !== 'expo') {
      const LogRocket = require('@logrocket/react-native');
      ....
   }
