8.11.2 (Stable)

Changes

• Windows & Linux native crash handlers: add SENTRY_NATIVE_BACKEND env var with default setting of none. (#2522)
  Native crash reporting support with sentry-native's crashpad was added in v8.11.0 and has caused build-time issues
  for some users, because it required newer build tools (newer versions of MSVC/Clang/GCC) than base Flutter SDK.
  This broke the ability to build the app for some users compiling Windows and Linux apps with older toolchains.

  To avoid this issue, we're disabling the native crash handling by default for Linux and Windows for now.
  You can enable it manually by setting the SENTRY_NATIVE_BACKEND=crashpad environment variable before running flutter build.
  You can read more about available backends that fit your use-case in sentry-native docs.

  We plan to change the default back to crashpad in the next major SDK release.

8.11.1

Improvements

• Check for type before casting in TTID (#2497)

Fixes

• SentryWidgetsFlutterBinding initializing even if a binding already exists (#2494)

8.12.0-beta.1

Features

• Replay: device orientation change support & improve video size fit on Android (#2462)
• Support custom Sentry.runZoneGuarded zone creation (#2088)
  • Sentry will not create a custom zone anymore if it is started within a custom one.
  • This fixes Zone miss-match errors when trying to initialize WidgetsBinding before Sentry on Flutter Web
  • Sentry.runZonedGuarded creates a zone and also captures exceptions & breadcrumbs automatically.

  Sentry.runZonedGuarded(() {
    WidgetsBinding.ensureInitialized();
  
    // Errors before init will not be handled by Sentry
  
    SentryFlutter.init(
      (options) {
      ...
      },
      appRunner: () => runApp(MyApp()),
    );
  } (error, stackTrace) {
    // Automatically sends errors to Sentry, no need to do any
    // captureException calls on your part.
    // On top of that, you can do your own custom stuff in this callback.
  });

Fixes

• Masking semi-transparent widgets (#2472)

8.11.0

⚠️ We recommend skipping this version due to a possibility in the UI thread hanging on app start.

Features

• Support for screenshot PII content masking (#2361)
  By default, masking is enabled for SessionReplay. To also enable it for screenshots captured with events, you can specify options.experimental.privacy:

  await SentryFlutter.init(
    (options) {
      ...
      // the defaults are:
      options.experimental.privacy.maskAllText = true;
      options.experimental.privacy.maskAllImages = true;
      options.experimental.privacy.maskAssetImages = false;
      // you cal also set up custom masking, for example:
      options.experimental.privacy.mask<WebView>();
    },
    appRunner: () => runApp(MyApp()),
  );

  Actually, just accessing this field will cause it to be initialized with the default settings to mask all text and images:

  await SentryFlutter.init(
    (options) {
      ...
      // this has a side-effect of creating the default privacy configuration, thus enabling Screenshot masking:
      options.experimental.privacy;
    },
    appRunner: () => runApp(MyApp()),
  );

• Linux native error & obfuscation support (#2431)

• Improve Device context on plain Dart and Flutter desktop apps (#2441)

• Add debounce to capturing screenshots (#2368)

  • Per default, screenshots are debounced for 2 seconds.

  • If you need more granular screenshots, you can opt out of debouncing:

    await SentryFlutter.init((options) {
      options.beforeCaptureScreenshot = (event, hint, debounce) {
        if (debounce) {
          return true; // Capture screenshot even if the SDK wants to debounce it.
        } else {
          // check event and hint
          ...
        }
      };
    });

  • Replace deprecated BeforeScreenshotCallback with new BeforeCaptureCallback.

• Windows native error & obfuscation support (#2286, #2426)

• Improve app start measurements by using addTimingsCallback instead of addPostFrameCallback to determine app start end (#2405)

  • ⚠️ This change may result in reporting of shorter app start durations

• Improve frame tracking accuracy (#2372)

  • Introduces SentryWidgetsFlutterBinding that tracks a frame starting from handleBeginFrame and ending in handleDrawFrame, this is approximately the buildDuration time

  • By default, SentryFlutter.init() automatically initializes SentryWidgetsFlutterBinding through the WidgetsFlutterBindingIntegration

  • If you need to initialize the binding before SentryFlutter.init, use SentryWidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized instead of WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized:

    void main() async {
      // Replace WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized()
      SentryWidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
    
      await SentryFlutter.init(...);
      runApp(MyApp());
    }

  • ⚠️ Frame tracking will be disabled if a different binding is used

Enhancements

• Only send debug images referenced in the stacktrace for events (#2329)
• Remove sentry frames if SDK falls back to current stack trace (#2351)
  • Flutter doesn't always provide stack traces for unhandled errors - this is normal Flutter behavior
  • When no stack trace is provided (in Flutter errors, captureException, or captureMessage):
    • SDK creates a synthetic trace using StackTrace.current
    • Internal SDK frames are removed to reduce noise
  • Original stack traces (when provided) are left unchanged

Fixes

• Catch errors thrown during handleBeginFrame and handleDrawFrame (#2446)
• OS & device contexts missing on Windows (#2439)
• Native iOS/macOS SDK session didn't start after Flutter hot-restart (#2452)
• Kotlin 2.1.0 compatibility on Android, bump Kotlin language version from 1.4 to 1.6 (#2456)
• Apply default IP address ({{auto}}) to transactions (#2395)
  • Previously, transactions weren't getting the default IP address when user context was loaded
  • Now consistently applies default IP address to both events and transactions when:
    • No user context exists
    • User context exists but IP address is null
