React Native - Possible Unhandled Promise Rejections

Similar issue as in https://github.com/bugsnag/bugsnag-js/issues/1519, but I can’t even get it working in a brand new create react app. Posted a comment on that issue. Creating this issue for more visibility.

Describe the bug

When Errors (such as TypeError) happen within an Async function that’s not wrapped in a try/catch (such as a function used for the onPress prop), they are not reported to BugSnag.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new React Native project using npx react-native init BugSnagUnhandledRejections --version 0.65.2
2. Install BugSnag using npx @bugsnag/react-native-cli init, and choose latest (7.17.3)
   • Add appropriate API_KEY when prompted
3. Add Bugsnag.start() to App component.
4. Add a button which calls an async function when pressed
5. See warning log in bundler console, but nothing in Bugsnag
6. For more robust testing, have a non-async function be called for onPress and don’t await the async function when calling (or wrap in a try/catch)

Environment

• Bugsnag version: 7.17.3
• React-Native: 0.65.2
• React: 17.0.2
• Device (e.g. iphonex): iPhone Simulator and OnePlus 6T

Example code snippet

// Step 5
const boom = async () => {
  null.reject();
};

// Step 7
const asyncPress = async () => {
  Bugsnag.notify(new Error('create-react app test'));
  await boom();
};

// Step 7
const press = () => {
  asyncPress();
  null.goBoom();
};

Hi @ians-shipt - thanks for raising this, I’ve been able to reproduce this on v0.65 of React Native as per your steps above, but not on v0.64. We’re currently investigating and will keep you updated on this thread 👍

@ians-shipt I’m facing a similar issue, to which React Native version did you upgrade to solve this problem?
