UseSentry or SentrySdk.Init call

SentrySdk.Init(o =>
{
o.Dsn = "https://6829d42c28db9c7b117a1c0e3ba1f78e@sentry.stage.platform.jamflabs.com/5";
o.Debug = true;
o.DiagnosticLevel = SentryLevel.Debug;
});

Steps to Reproduce

Run SentrySdk.CauseCrash(Sentry.CrashType.Native);

Expected Result

Get a native crash

Actual Result

System complains it's not an AOT build. Why is this restricted to only Native AOT? Crashpad should work just fine with any executable, yet because the C# code itself isn't native I cannot capture crashes caused in unmanaged libraries included inside my C# managed executable. Is this intended behaviour? Am I forced to include sentry-native manually even though it should be tagged along the main C# SDK?

Is there a workaround I can use? Looking at your code you check the IsTrimmed and I don't want to or know how to bypass that check.

Thank you.

Thanks for opening this issue, @BorderKeeper. I also just noticed your message on Discord.

Coincidentally, just yesterday, I was looking into this myself as well, preparing a Demo that captures a native crash from a Native AOT compiled .NET application via the Sentry Desktop Crash Reporter.

We'll look into exposing External Crash Reporter, and maybe allow a "no-guard-rail" sentry-nativeopt-in. Let me get back to you on that.

Thanks a lot @Flash0ver we will go with Sentry-Native for C++ and Sentry C# SDK combo in Q1 next year and hope for good news here so we can simplify the design.
