Sentry Android SDK Compatibility
Make sure to use Sentry Gradle plugin 4.+ together with the Sentry Android SDK 7.+, otherwise it might crash at runtime due to binary incompatibility. (E.g. if you're using -timber, -okhttp or other packages)
If you can't do that for some reason, you can specify sentry version via the plugin config block:
sentry {
autoInstallation {
sentryVersion.set("7.0.0")
}
}Similarly, if you have a Sentry SDK (e.g. sentry-android-core) dependency on one of your Gradle modules and you're updating it to 7.+, make sure the Gradle plugin is at 4.+ or specify the SDK version as shown in the snippet above.
