• Increase the number of available user attributes from 64 to 128

Fixed in this release

Fixed in this release

• Fixes build failure when Kotlin extensions are used
• Eliminates a race condition that could result in ANR in apps that make many concurrent network requests

Notes

Dexguard users must upgrade to version 8.2.22 to be compatible with this release.

New in this release

• Support for the Maven plugin is now deprecated, and will be removed in version 5.21.0.
• The minimum supported SDK level (minSdkVersion) is now 14 (Android 4.0)

Fixed in this release

• Removed dependency on legacy Android Apache library, which resulted in NoClassDefFoundError exceptions when targeting Android SDK 28.
• Removed cast exception with OkHTTP2 CacheResponseBody when using Retrofit 1.9.0 with OkHttp 2.7.5 .
• Corrected mismatched UUID added to Proguard/Dexguard mapping file (the map UUID didn't match the UUID of reported crashes).
• Restored missing Dexguard lambda instrumentation.
• Corrected representation of LONG numeric attributes to prevent loss of precision (agent could not record precise timestamp attributes).
• Crashes that occur prior to successfully connecting to collector will be queued until a valid connection data token is received.
• Restored agent shutdown and final harvest when foreground services present.

Fixes

Fixes NoClassDefFoundError crash due to missing Apache classes for apps targeting Android 9 (SDK versions P or 28 ). This release is only needed by apps that target SDK 28 or higher.
