});Steps to Reproduce
expo run:android
Expected Result
I'm expecting my AndroidManifest.xml is automatically updated with the meta-data needed to enable Trace Lifecycle UI Profiling, as from https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/android/profiling/#enabling-trace-lifecycle-ui-profiling
Actual Result
my AndroidManifest.xml is not updated and, if I go to my Sentry dashboard in "profiling", I get only the instructions to enable profiling in Android...
