Android agent release notesRSS

New in this release

• Adds support for Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) version 3.6. AGP 3.6 requires version 5.25.0 of the New Relic agent. Previous agent versions are not supported with 3.6.
• Apache HttpClient instrumentation is deprecated

Fixed in this release

• Fix unhandled exception when closing a Cronet HttpUrlConnection on error conditions
• Fixed OkHttp2/Retrofit crash when reading error response bodies
• Better content length/bytes received reporting for OkHttp2 and OkHttp3

Known issues

The New Relic agent may not correctly detect the 'mapping.txt' file using Dexguard and AGP 3.6. We are looking into the issue.

Fixed in this release

• The agent now uploads mapping.txt files to New Relic when bundle tasks are used with Dexguard.

Fixed in this release

• Fixed a harvest error that occurred when the sum of all activity traces exceeded the default limit (64k characters), and filtering removed all traces.
• Fixed a set of DEX failures that emerged when JSONObject(String) and JSONArray(String) invocations were instrumented. Unfortunately, the time spent in instance construction can no longer be reported as a result of the change.

Fixed in this release

• Clear up duplicate reporting of device data
• Address a build failure when instrumenting apps using Gson 2.8.6
• Exclude additional 3rd party packages from instrumentation (to address a D8 crash)

New in this release

• Updated instrumentation to include Fragment and Activity classes derived from androidx support packages.
• Updated 3rd party licenses information.

Fixed in this release

• Fixed crash that occurred when the agent tried to instrument Kotlin module_info.class files.
• Updated JSON instrumentation to address crash that could occur when using R8 tools.

New in this release

• Refactored New Relic Agent plugin to conform to Gradle 5

Fixed in this release

• Fixed build crash that occurred during debug logging when using Dexguard versions 8.2 - 8.4
• Eliminated erroneous exception logging for CountingInputStream implementations
• Clarified documentation of analytic enablement options (FeatureFlag.AnalyticsEvents and NewRelic.withAnalyticsEvents)

Fixed in this release

• Fixes an issue that caused lock contention on the main thread when an Activity or Fragment started during harvest.

New in this release

• Updated instrumentation support for OkHttp to version 3.12.0
  • Minimum supported versions are now OkHttp 3.5.0, and OkIO 1.11.0
• Dependency JARs using signature validation are detected during instrumentation. The agent cannot instrument JARs that use signature validation when signed. JARs whose manifest contains SHA1-Digest or SHA-256-Digest manifest attributes will not be modified
• Increase the number of available user attributes from 64 to 128

Fixed in this release

• Fixes null pointer exception during map upload when the generated map file is empty, such as when Proguard is enabled, but obfuscation is disabled using the -dontobfuscate Proguard configuration setting.

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
