You don’t need to use react-native link to set up the native error tracking with Sentry using Expo because we handle your native errors – any native crash from your app goes through us and we deal with those, similar to how with Chrome, Google handles any non-JS crashes for you.
The Sentry integration that I’m working on is a wrapper for the JS-side of react-native-sentry and integration into our publishing flow so the setup is easy and deployment is automated. I’m waiting on a new version of raven-js and react-native-sentry to be cut with some improvements that I pushed to make it work better with React Native in general and with Expo, then soon after that we will release an updated version of exp and XDE, along with the sentry-expo npm package and a guide to get it set up. @arcomito is right that you can use it right now if you want, but it’ll take you time to figure out so probably best to wait a few days.
Here’s an example of what the integration looks like:
