Please, tell us how to recreate the issue in as much detail as possible.

Initialize the plugin like so:

import * as Sentry from '@nativescript-community/sentry';
const dsn = "your Sentry dsn here";
Sentry.init({
  dsn, 
  appPrefix: "app:///",
  release: "Your custom release name",
  dist: "Your custom dist name",
});

Then cause the application to crash, and let the plugin catch and report the exception on its own (rather than try/catching and manually reporting it using Sentry.captureException(error)).

The exception will get reported to Sentry, but the JS stack trace will appear as a plain text string and source mapping will not occur. If instead you manually catch and report the exception source mapping will work. Presumably, stack trace frame rewriting only occurs when exceptions are manually caught and reported. This is problematic because you don't know in advance where exceptions will occur, and wrapping all code in try/catch blocks is unfeasible.
