7.3.0

• Improved app startup instrumentation
  • Updated name of root and child spans logged for cold and warm app startups
  • Added support for programmatic termination of app startup as opt-in configuration option
  • Record failed and abandoned app startup spans if the app crashes or backgrounds before startup completes
  • Added new annotation (@IgnoreForStartup) for trampoline or splash-screen Activities, which will make the app startup instrumentation ignore themt for the purposes of ending a startup
  • Deprecated (@StartupActivity). This annotation will no longer affect how the app startup instrumentation works.
  • Fixed issue with app startup instrumentation recording on Android 12 for Activities that use Jetpack Compose Navigation
• Fail app build if symbol upload request fails
• Modified logic of uploading ApplicationExitInfo (non-visible change)
• Updated OpenTelemetry API and SDK to 1.48.0

7.1.0

February 7, 2025

• Fixed stacktrace symbolication issue caused by incorrect ProGuard rules
• Added API for sending log messages that contain binary attachments
• Internal refactoring of gradle plugin

7.0.0

• API and functional changes in this major release are documented in the Upgrade Guide. Key ones to be aware of include:

  • Moments feature and API have been removed in favor of Traces, which should be used instead to track how long workflows in the app took to complete.
  • Public API methods are all implemented in Kotlin, so passing in nulls in Java for parameters annotated with @NonNull will cause a runtime exception and could cause a crash.
  • Firebase Cloud Messaging and Compose tap instrumentation require explicit inclusion of modules in your Gradle files.
  • Remove support for deprecated properties in embrace-config.json and the Embrace Gradle plugin.

• New features and other changes in this release include:

  • Customizable, automatic instrumentation of Activity load and Jetpack Compose Navigation (requires opt-in for now)
  • Auto-termination of spans based on navigation
  • Customization of app startup trace through custom attributes and child spans
  • Public API to get the timestamp used by the SDK so custom spans for app startup and UI load traces can be in sync with other spans in the trace
  • API to disable data export at programmatically for the currently running instance of the app
  • Associate native crashes with the device and app metadata at the time of crash instead of the time of reporting
  • Configuration setting to enable Network Span Forwarding traceparent injection into network request spans for non-Embrace users

• Dependency updates:

  • OpenTelemetry API and SDK to 1.46.0
  • OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions to 1.29.0-alpha
  • AndroidX Lifecycle to 2.7.0
  • Moshi to 1.15.2

6.14.0

• Extensive improvements to the resiliency and performance of telemetry persistence and delivery, especially under adverse device and network conditions.
• Fixed issue where feature flags were not being cached and applied consistently.
• New runtime dependency: OkHttp 4.12.
  • See the FAQ here if you want to use a lower version at runtime (not recommend or supported).

6.13.0

• Improve SDK startup performance.
• Fix issue with capturing details of network requests with long URLs.
• Increase default ANR call stack depth to 200 frames.

6.12.2

• Fix race condition on app startup when native crash capture is enabled that could result in a crash when the native delegate is accessed before the library is loaded

6.12.1

• Fix JVM crash recording and Embrace API request retries when Embrace enums are obfuscated.
• Improve delivery retry of sessions ended by a native crash or background process termination.

6.12.0

• Improve SDK startup performance.
• Increase resilience of telemetry delivery under poor network conditions.
• Add configuration to redact values for custom property keys on a denylist.
• Fix bug at build time that invalidated the Gradle configuration cache when the native crash capture feature was disabled.

6.11.0

• Update cached background activities when session properties are modified.
• Apply configuration defined in embrace-config.json properly if appId is not specified (Fix for #1219).
