Programatically start recording.

[DeanGracey]

It doesn't seem possible to start a new recording session using the react native package as one can using the javascript package, i.e:

// You can access the active replay instance from anywhere in your code like this:
const replay = Sentry.getReplay();

// This starts in `session` mode, regardless of sample rates
replay.start();

I would like to start recording sessions based on the value of a feature flag, so I don't just want a sample rate as set in the Sentry.init call:

_experiments: {
      replaysSessionSampleRate: 1,
      replaysOnErrorSampleRate: 1,
    },

Am I missing something or is this something that could be supported in the future?

Hi @DeanGracey,
thank you for using/trying our Mobile Session Replay.

Programmatic control (same as in JS replay.start()) of mobile replays is on our backlog and is definitely coming.

Let us know if you have any more question about Mobile Replay.
