Populate trace_ids in mobile replay events to enable searching replays by trace ID #6232

Description

@sentry-junior

Problem

When searching for replays by trace ID in Sentry's Explore UI, mobile replays from React Native are not discoverable. While web replay (via JS SDK) collects trace_ids, the mobile replay integration does not.

Solution

The mobileReplayIntegration should collect trace IDs when transactions are captured and pass them to the native replay system.

Reference implementations

Key points

  • Collect trace IDs when transactions are successfully captured during replay recording
  • Limit to max 100 trace IDs per segment (matching JS SDK)
  • Need a bridge mechanism to pass trace IDs from JS transactions to native replay
  • Android native SDK (sentry-java) now supports registerTraceId() — need similar support in iOS (sentry-cocoa)

Dependencies

  • sentry-cocoa needs to implement trace_ids support first (or in parallel)
