`SentrySdk.GetSpan` always returns null

See original GitHub issue

Which SDK and version?

WPF .NET5
Xamarin.Forms netstandard2.0

Steps to Reproduce

var span = SentrySdk.GetSpan() ?? SentrySdk.StartTransaction("tx", "tx");
var span1 = span.StartChild("child");
var span2 = SentrySdk.GetSpan();

Expected Result

Get latest span

Actual Result

span2 is null? Shouldn’t it be equal to span1? Or am I misunderstanding something?

I have tried the same code with a surrounding:

using(var scope = SentrySdk.PushScope())
{
     ..
}
