Sentry.init()

Sentry.init({
      dsn: String(getConfig().SENTRY_DSN),
      environment: String(getConfig().SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT || 'Development'),
      enableUserInteractionTracing: false,
      enableAppStartTracking: false,
      attachScreenshot: false,
      integrations: [
        reactNativeTracingIntegration({
          routingInstrumentation: routingInstrumentation,
        }),
      ],
      debug: false,
      release: deviceInfoModule.getVersion(),
      dist:
        deviceInfoModule.getBundleId() + '-' + deviceInfoModule.getVersion(),
      enabled: true,
    });

Steps to Reproduce

The app is getting initialized with sentry without any issue, and also the sentry crash test is working. In a component inside the App, it does not have a function imported and is called, which is throwing a ReferenceError locally but the same issue is not populated in sentry. When i converted the function to async, it did the trick. The app is within the sentry error boundary and we were expecting the crash to show up, even for synchronous functions but thats not the case. Can someone help look into this?

Expected Result

The event should be logged on sentry dashboard, sentry should capture one.

Actual Result

Sentry not able to capture ReferenceError crashes inside a React native component
