Steps to Reproduce

1. Inject SentryNavigatorObserver instance in the navigatorObservers list of the router.
2. Navigate to any nested route with tabs.
3. No nested navigation is caught by the observer and in Sentry navigations look like this:

   {
   from: HomeRoute,
   state: didPush
   },
   {
   state: didPop,
   to: HomeRoute
   }

   I'm using AutoRoute and my router config looks like this:

   AutoRoute(
   path: '/home',
   page: HomeRoute.page,
   children: [
   ...childrenRoutes,
   ],
   ),

Expected Result

The navigation observer should catch nested route navigation through tabs. Either that or have a method in the sdk to trigger screen tracking so I can build my own working observer and opt out the default one.

Actual Result

Are you willing to submit a PR?

None

[ueman]

Nested navigators need their own SentryNavigationObserver, since nested navigators don't inherit observers from the root navigator. This can't be fixed in Sentry (or any other library that offers NavigationObserver)

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you remove the label Waiting for: Community, I will leave it alone ... forever!
