Updates the Expo sample application to use Expo SDK 54, which includes React Native 0.81.5 and React 19.1. Changes: - Upgrade Expo SDK from 53 to 54 - Upgrade React Native from 0.79.2 to 0.81.5 - Upgrade React from 19.0.0 to 19.1.0 - Update all Expo packages to SDK 54 compatible versions - Fix ExternalLink component for expo-router 6.x compatibility (removed deprecated hrefAttrs) Note: The native ios/android folders are gitignored as they are generated by expo prebuild. For local development in this monorepo, add this to ios/Podfile after running prebuild: ENV['REACT_NATIVE_NODE_MODULES_DIR'] = File.join(__dir__, '..', 'node_modules', 'react-native') This ensures the Sentry SDK detects the correct React Native version (0.81.5) instead of the version in packages/core/node_modules. Resolves #5568 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Expo SDK 54 upgraded to React Native 0.81, which uses the new Hermes profiling API. In the monorepo, the Sentry SDK's podspec was detecting RN 0.80 (from packages/core/node_modules) instead of 0.81 (from samples/expo/node_modules), causing it to use the old Hermes API which was removed in RN 0.81. Setting REACT_NATIVE_NODE_MODULES_DIR ensures the podspec detects the correct React Native version during CI builds. This only affects the CI build - no changes to the core SDK. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fixes high severity vulnerability in tar 7.5.6: - CVE: Arbitrary File Creation/Overwrite via Hardlink Path Traversal Added resolution to force tar@^7.5.7 which includes the security patch. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Expo SDK 54 has larger codebase that causes OutOfMemoryError: Metaspace during lint analysis. Increased Gradle JVM memory settings: - Heap: 4GB (from default 2GB) - Metaspace: 1GB (from default ~256MB) Fixes: OutOfMemoryError during lintVitalAnalyzeRelease task Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

This was needed because:

Expo SDK 54 → uses @expo/cli@54.0.22

@expo/cli@54.0.22 → requires tar: ^7.5.2

Yarn resolves → tar@7.5.6 (vulnerable) ❌ failed check
4. Our fix → force tar@^7.5.7 (patched)
