Hey Mehmet, thanks for opening this issue!

enableTracing is a boolean value and activates or deactivates performance monitoring for your SDK. The config option sampleRate belongs to the error monitoring feature and regulates the percentage of errors being sent to Sentry.

However, if you meant the difference between enableTracing and tracesSampleRate (instead of sampleRate), then enableTracing will simply set tracesSampleRate internally to 1.0 (meaning 100% of transactions are sent to Sentry). If you have both options in your config, then enableTracing will be ignored and the value of tracesSampleRate will be taken instead.

FYI: We're currently restructuring our documentation around config options, which will also bring more clarity on what config options belong to which feature of Sentry
