Research direction

This issue is blocked by backend Release Health changes, so start by reading related issue 4093 and the stale RFC at rfc/10. Confirm how rejected promises affect crash-rate calculations in Release Health before changing the React Native SDK. Done means unhandled promise rejections can be marked handled: false without incorrectly increasing crash rate.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Errors Feature React-Native
🛑 Blocked by backend Release Health changes

This change would require change of calculating crash rate independent of handled: false. As rejected promises do not cause a crash in RN.

Description

We can't do this at the moment because the handled flag is used to calculate the Crash Rate in the Release Health product.
