Release notes for Android SDK 7.1.1.

Scope verified against the release branch rather than masterorigin/release is at 59200e872 (v7.1.1) and contains exactly:

Commit Documented
7bd436204 + 88ec75ec9 — WebView control token
ae728e714 — kotlin-stdlib dependency fix

The WebView obscuring fix (dfabc7fb8) is on master but not in the release, so it is deliberately left out.

The dependency change

7.1.0's notes already say the OkHttp and Cronet extensions "no longer pull the Kotlin standard library". That was true of the published POM — but Gradle reads Gradle Module Metadata in preference to the POM, and the strip only edited the POM. Every consumer of bugsee-android therefore kept resolving kotlin-stdlib:2.1.0, pure-Java apps included.

The 7.1.1 entry frames it as completing that work, and calls out the upgrade consequence: builds that relied on Bugsee to supply the Kotlin standard library or org.jetbrains:annotations transitively now need to declare them.

It also notes the memory-leak extension, which is written in Kotlin yet publishes no Kotlin dependency — it carries the part of the runtime it uses inside its own artifact, relocated so it cannot collide with the consumer's copy.

Validation

  • npx cspell "docs/**/*.md" "docs/**/*.mdx" --no-cache -c cspell.json0 issues (avoided stdlib, which is not in the dictionary and which the surrounding docs spell out anyway).
  • npm run build — exit 0, zero broken links.

Note #18 (Gradle plugin 4.0.5) is still open; these two touch different files and do not conflict.

Covers what actually shipped in 7.1.1 (verified against the release branch):
the kotlin-stdlib dependency fix and the WebView bridge control-channel
authentication. The WebView obscuring fix on master is not in the release, so it
is not documented here.

Frames the dependency change as the completion of what 7.1.0 started: that
release removed the Kotlin standard library from the OkHttp and Cronet POMs, but
Gradle prefers Gradle Module Metadata over the POM, so consumers kept resolving
it anyway.

Includes the upgrade note for builds that were relying on Bugsee to supply
kotlin-stdlib or org.jetbrains:annotations transitively.

Drop the mechanism (POM versus Gradle Module Metadata, artifact relocation) and
describe the effect on a consumer's build instead.
