How to use this library with Expo?

Hello,

I hope someone can give me a hint on how to make mixpanel-react-native work on an expo app in windows11.

This is what I am currently doing:

expo init MyProject
# then I select `minimal`
cd MyProject
yarn add mixpanel-react-native
expo start

Everything is fine, but the moment I add to App.js

import { Mixpanel } from 'mixpanel-react-native';
const mixpanel = new Mixpanel('MY_TOKEN');
mixpanel.init();

I run into the dreaded error: MixpanelReactNative is null both on web and Expo Go on android. Now I understand that Expo Go doesn't support mixpanel, but shouldn't I at least be able to run it on web?

Any help is much appreciated.

My App.js

import { StatusBar } from 'expo-status-bar';
import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { Mixpanel } from 'mixpanel-react-native';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text>Open up App.js to start working on your app!</Text>
      <StatusBar style="auto" />
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: '#fff',
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
});
