Android agent release notesRSS

Bug fixes

• Fixed a performance issue where Session Replay image compression ran on the main thread. It now runs asynchronously, reducing overhead during capture.

• Addressed rendering accuracy issues in Session Replay by emitting incremental view additions in their natural view order.

• Fixed an issue where stale offline payloads could be sent by enforcing a time-to-live (TTL) that discards data queued too long.

• Resolved an issue where session attributes could be lost during the shutdown harvest.

• Fixed an issue where buffered events were dropped during app shutdown, ensuring they are now sent in the final harvest to prevent data loss.

• Fixed a timing issue during device rotation where session continuity could be lost during the transition.

• Made HTTP header handling thread-safe, resolving errors that could occur under concurrent access.

• Fixed an issue where app start-up metrics could be miscalculated when a start-up timestamp was not set.

• Resolved an issue where the agent attempts to report crashes without an active network connection, causing unnecessary errors on offline devices.

• Fixed a native (NDK) crash that could occur during shutdown due to an ABI mismatch in stop().

• Fixed ProGuard map upload for builds that produce a DexGuard APK directly.

• Improved Gradle configuration-cache compatibility during map upload.

• Relocated the bundled commons-io dependency in the Gradle plugin to prevent conflicts with host applications.
