Sentry-java: v1.7.30 breaks builds on Android

[maks]

Using 1.7.27 everything is fine. As soon as I updated to 1.7.30 my build breaks with following error:

I suspect this is due to Sentry updating its Jackson dep to 2.1.0 and seems to have been reported to them already in context of same Android build error but their response is not very helpful as Android max's out at Java8.

hey @maks thanks for raising this issue.

Which AGP version are you working with? com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.3 seems to work just fine.

try to disable R8 just to see if it works, you can do that by doing android.enableR8=false in your gradle.properties file, so then it uses ProGuard, might help, if it doesn't, I can take a look at it, let me know.

Also, consider updating sentry-java to our brand new Android SDK https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-android/releases/tag/2.0.0

Thanks :)

@marandaneto thanks for the pointer, yes you are right, it seems to have been due to old version of tooling I was using (AGP 3.1.3) Once I updated to 3.5.3 and matching version of Gradle, Sentry client 1.7.30 works fine. Thanks for the quick response! I'm a very happy Sentry user! both on Android and Flutter.

[marandaneto]

@maks glad to hear :) give it a try to https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-android/releases/tag/2.0.0 it has a richer device context and NDK support ootb :)

[maks]

thanks @marandaneto I'll give the new android specific client a go - I had been holding off as it was labelled as beta but sounds like it is production ready now?
