# Instances are no longer disposed on unmount

**Version:** v3.6.0

**Published:** September 29, 2026

`SanityApp` and `ResourceProvider` no longer dispose their Sanity instance when they unmount. The instance, and the stores it created, now live until the page reloads. This fixes SDK apps crashing when React `<Activity>` hides and shows them, since React runs the same cleanup for a hidden tree as for an unmounted one.

If you relied on unmounting to clean up, for example between tests, create the instance yourself with the same config, render `SanityApp` inside `<SanityInstanceProvider instance={instance}>`, and call `instance.dispose()` when you are done.

## Fixes

- Session and hook telemetry now include runtime context, and hook-mounted and session-ended events include the session auth method. This lets analytics segment Studio and app usage independently of credential source.
