Proguard

Version

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open for example current newest version: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/sentry/sentry-android/6.4.1/sentry-android-6.4.1.pom
2. Find it contains this line: do_not_remove: published-with-gradle-metadata
3. Open directory: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/sentry/sentry-android/6.4.1/
4. Find there is no .module file. According to gradle documentation this is incorrect: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/publishing_gradle_module_metadata.html

Above is description of an cause.

The more important symptoms and in fact issues are while using artifactory: https://jfrog.com/artifactory/ which will throw 403, stopping the gradle build with failure.

Expected Result

Either:

1. pom.xml shouldn't contain line: do_not_remove: published-with-gradle-metadata
2. .module file should be published

Actual Result

pom.xml contains line do_not_remove: published-with-gradle-metadata and there is no published .module file (Gradle Module Metadata)

@darekdeo thanks for raising this. We'll look into it and report back here once we know more.

There's a draft PR that should address this issue: getsentry/craft#412

a guy from gradle says

And for the future, it is almost always a bad idea to ignore the metadata or to not publish it.

FYI: For sentry-compose the gradle module metadata file generation has been disabled, see #2430 for more details.
If we want to support .module files, this needs to be re-checked again.

We still have to finalize the open craft PR getsentry/craft#412 to have this resolved. Maybe @buenaflor will take care of it when he's back again.

Need to check if that works automatically after getsentry/craft#412 is merged

[marandaneto]

@romtsn can you release a patch and see if it works? getsentry/craft#412 is merged

[buenaflor]

Currently .module files are only supported automatically through kmp configuration so for non-kmp targets it needs a bit of extra work. See: https://github.com/getsentry/craft/blob/3a136a5dbd40e9b2e7fe7ae7799cfbf71784108e/src/targets/maven.ts#L466
