Feature description

Had occasion to look for "frustration signals" in RUM reporting, while debugging an issue with our RN app

Was a little confused not to see them registering — eventually realized I was looking for Rage Clicks + Dead Clicks, and currently only Error Clicks are supported.

Found this issue comment from a couple years back

On mobile SDKs we currently only support error taps: when a user taps on an element right before a JavaScript error occurs.
Rage clicks and dead clicks are not supported yet on mobile, thanks for pointing out that it's not clear in our documentation, I'll edit it to reflect this better!

Proposed solution

No response

Not sure what the implementation tradeoffs are like — but it would be neat to have feature parity, and support all the standard frustration signals.
