Sentry.init()

Sentry.init({
  dsn: 'https://...@sentry.io/...'
  environment: "preview",
  enabled: !__DEV__,
  sendDefaultPii: true,
  enableLogs: true,
});

Steps to Reproduce

1. Setup env vars in EAS console (expo.dev): SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN, SENTRY_ORG, SENTRY_PROJECT and SENTRY_URL (although only SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN is required, since the rest can be retrieved from the app config if missing)
2. Setup an EAS Workflow by creating .eas/workflows/update-preview.yml and using the pre-packaged "update" job like this:

name: Publish update in preview

on:
  push:
    paths:
      - "**"

jobs:
  update:
    name: Update
    type: update
    environment: preview
    params:
      channel: antoine-bs-2392
      message: ${{ github.event.head_commit.message }}
      upload_sentry_sourcemaps: true

2. Trigger the workflow by pushing a commit

Expected Result

Publish update and upload source maps

Actual Result

Update published but job loads indefinitely at the next step (sourcemaps uploading) until it gets killed after 30 minutes:

[antoinerousseau]

Seems sentry-expo-upload-sourcemaps is outdated, and it's a wrapper that runs exec npx --yes -p @sentry/react-native sentry-expo-upload-sourcemaps "$@" which probably hangs because maybe it uses the old sentry-expo or maybe it prompts the user for something
