Native Android Support

[bruno-garcia]

Problem Statement

.NET 6 includes net6.0-android which allows access to Android types through bindings.

When running on this environment, the chances of crashes due to errors outside of the ".NET-land" are significantly increased. We can detect such issues through our Sentry Android SDK. This is how the Sentry's Flutter and React Native SDKs work.

Tasks

• Introduce net6.0-android target
• Introduce bindings to the Sentry Android SDK
• Sentry.Init that takes the Android Context and passes it to the Sentry Android SDK
• Hook on CrashedLastRun to update session information
• Enable global hub mode (share scope/state globally)
• Set session tracking on by default
• Sample crashes from Kotlin
• Sample crashes from C

The above solved through: #1288

Remaining Tasks:

• Complete diagnostic logger
• Warnings in bindings
• Integration/smoke tests Android Emulator smoke test #1662 Run unit tests on Android #1704
• Scope sync. Android Scope Sync #1737
• Pass .NET options down to Android
• Foreground/Background events to call into Session Pause/Resume
• Bump Android SDK to 6.0.0 and drop Gson as a NuGet dependency
• Bundle a manifest metadata that sets <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.auto-init" android:value="false" />
• Upload native debug symbols through sentry-cli
• Roslyn analyzer to select the right overload
• Add JavaDoc
• Build, cache the Android SDK and change its name to sentry.java.android.dotnet (see: Feat: Custom SDK names sentry-unity#725)

Since we've had Android support in one form or another since 3.18.0, I'm closing this issue. We can open new issues for individual items as needed.
