[romtsn]

Summary

Bumps Sentry dependencies to latest stable versions:

Dependency	Old	New
Sentry Android Gradle Plugin	6.17.0	6.20.0
Sentry Android SDK (auto-installed)	8.51.0	8.54.0
sentry-native-ndk	0.16.0	0.16.4

Changelogs

Gradle Plugin 6.17.0 → 6.20.0

• 6.18.0 — Fix ProGuard mapping with AGP optimization.enable DSL; eliminate reflection for SDK class-availability checks (~1% init time reduction, enabled by default via runtimeOptimizations)
• 6.19.0 — Fix AGP optimization.enable detection when variant is wrapped by AGP analytics
• 6.20.0 — Per-variant overrides for tracing instrumentation and runtime optimizations via reverse DSL; resolve Sentry manifest metadata at build time to reduce SDK initialization overhead

SDK 8.51.0 → 8.54.0

• 8.52.0 — Fixes and performance: clear contexts on Scope.clear(), halve screenshot/replay memory via RGB_565, batch scope-persistence disk writes, reduce SDK thread count, prevent cold app start inflation on API 35+
• 8.53.0 — Features: allow child spans to use explicit start timestamps via SpanOptions; make ISpan.startChild overloads with SpanOptions public
• 8.54.0 — Features: manual Session Replay controls via Sentry.replay() (start(), stop(), pause(), resume(), flush()); screenshot attachment for user feedback widget (io.sentry.feedback.enable-attach-screenshot); app vitals on standalone app.start children

sentry-native 0.16.0 → 0.16.4

• 0.16.1 — C API: sentry_app_hang_pause; fix crash reporter config checks
• 0.16.2 — C API: sentry_scope_remove_fingerprint, sentry_options_set_before_send_feedback; fixes for FD leak, Crashpad init ordering
• 0.16.3 — Forward enable_logs option through NdkOptions; C API: sentry_scope_set_span/sentry_scope_set_transaction_object
• 0.16.4 — Custom HTTP transport interface; sentry_set_tags/sentry_get_last_event_id; on_crashed_last_run callback; dynamic libcurl loading

New features implemented

1. SpanOptions with explicit start timestamps (SDK 8.53.0) — In MainFragment.checkout(), a SentryDate is captured via SentryNanotimeDate right after the checkout transaction starts (before scope configuration and dialog setup). A SpanOptions object passes this timestamp as the explicit start time for the process_cart_data child span, so the span timing accurately reflects the full checkout setup duration. This demonstrates both newly public APIs: SpanOptions.setStartTimestamp() and ISpan.startChild(operation, description, SpanOptions).

2. Manual Session Replay flush (SDK 8.54.0) — In MainFragment.processDeliveryItem(), Sentry.replay().flush() is called after the checkout failure exception is captured. This ensures the replay segment around the checkout error is sent immediately rather than waiting for the buffer to fill, demonstrating the new Sentry.replay() manual control API.

3. User Feedback screenshot attachment (SDK 8.54.0) — Added io.sentry.feedback.enable-attach-screenshot = true in AndroidManifest.xml. This enables the new screenshot attachment capability in the feedback widget (enabled by default in 8.54.0, made explicit here for demo visibility).

Features skipped (with technical blockers)

• sentry_app_hang_pause (sentry-native 0.16.1) — C API not exposed through the Java/Kotlin Android SDK
• sentry_scope_remove_fingerprint / sentry_options_set_before_send_feedback (sentry-native 0.16.2) — C API not exposed through the Java/Kotlin Android SDK
• sentry_scope_set_span / sentry_scope_set_transaction_object (sentry-native 0.16.3) — C API not exposed through the Java/Kotlin Android SDK
• Forward enable_logs through NdkOptions (sentry-native 0.16.3) — Automatic; options.getLogs().setEnabled(true) is already set in MyApplication, so the NDK option is forwarded without code changes
• Custom HTTP transport / bulk tags / crash inspection callback / event ID retrieval / dynamic libcurl (sentry-native 0.16.4) — C-level APIs not exposed through the Java/Kotlin Android SDK; Windows/Unix-specific features not relevant to Android
• App vitals on standalone spans (SDK 8.54.0) — Automatic; io.sentry.standalone-app-start-tracing.enable is already true in the manifest, so app.vitals.start.screen and app.vitals.start.type are set automatically with no code changes
• Per-variant tracing overrides (plugin 6.20.0) — The variants {} DSL enables per-variant configuration of tracing instrumentation and runtime optimizations; the app's current global config already applies uniformly to all variants, so no per-variant override is needed
• Runtime optimizations (plugin 6.18.0) — Enabled by default; no code change needed

Build verification

Build could not be fully verified — ./gradlew assembleDebug fails with HTTP 403 from dl.google.com due to network restrictions in the remote execution environment. This is an infrastructure issue, not a code issue. The Gradle plugin version, SDK version, and native-ndk version bumps are straightforward dependency updates, and the new API calls (SpanOptions, SentryNanotimeDate, ISpan.startChild with SpanOptions, Sentry.replay().flush()) were verified against the sentry-java 8.54.0 release notes.
