 - fix(ttid): End and measure TTID regardless current active span ([#4019](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-react-native/pull/4019))
   - Fixes possible missing TTID measurements and spans
+- Fix crash when passing array as data to `Sentry.addBreadcrumb({ data: [] })` ([#4021](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-react-native/pull/4021))
+  - The expected `data` type is plain JS object, otherwise the data might be lost.
