8.41.0

Features

• Session Replay: experimental support for capturing SurfaceView content (e.g. Unity, video players, maps) (#5333)
  • To enable, set options.sessionReplay.isCaptureSurfaceViews = true
  • Or via manifest: <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.session-replay.capture-surface-views" android:value="true" />
  • Warning: masking granularity is at the SurfaceView level only — the SDK cannot mask individual elements rendered inside the SurfaceView (e.g. native Unity UI, map labels, video frames). Only enable for SurfaceViews whose content is safe to record.
• Add Sentry.feedback() API for show() and capture() (#5349)
  • Sentry.showUserFeedbackDialog() is deprecated in favor of Sentry.feedback().show()
  • Sentry.captureFeedback() is deprecated in favor of Sentry.feedback().capture()
  • Sentry.captureUserFeedback() and UserFeedback are deprecated in favor of Sentry.feedback().capture() with the new Feedback type
  • SentryUserFeedbackDialog is deprecated in favor of SentryUserFeedbackForm
  • All deprecated APIs will be removed in the next major version
• Deprecate SentryUserFeedbackButton (View-based and Compose-based) (#5350)
  • It will be removed in the next major version
• Add per-form shake-to-show support for SentryUserFeedbackForm (#5353)
  • Useful for enabling shake-to-report on specific screens instead of globally

  SentryUserFeedbackForm.Builder(activity)
    .configurator { it.isUseShakeGesture = true }
    .create()

• Add support for Kafka (#5249)
  • You will need to add the sentry-kafka dependency and opt-in via the new option.
    • Set options.setEnableQueueTracing(true) on Sentry.init
    • Or set sentry.enable-queue-tracing=true in application.properties
  • For Spring Boot Kafka is auto instrumented and no further configuration is needed.
    • also see https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/java/guides/spring-boot/integrations/kafka/
  • When using kafka-clients directly
    • you need to wrap your KafkaProducer via SentryKafkaProducer.wrap(kafkaProducer) to get queue.publish spans
    • and you may use our SentryKafkaConsumerTracing.withTracing helper to instrument the consumer side manually.
    • also see https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/java/integrations/kafka/
