Minidump files for native code crashes under Android SDK

[michaelnoisternig-tomtom]

Problem Statement

We see sporadic crashes in native code within our Android product on the customer side. We cannot reproduce these crashes ourselves and additional logging didn't give us more insight, so we would like to inspect minidumps for those native-code crashes. Unfortunately, enabling minidumps in sentry has no effect because according to feedback I received from sentry support "the Sentry Native SDK as part of the Android SDK uses the inproc backend, which does not create minidumps".
Having minidumps for native-code crashes would be a rather important feature for us, so I would be glad if this could be added to your SDK. Thanks!

Hi @michaelnoisternig-tomtom we're focusing precisely on that in #4933 (if you meant tombstones by "minidumps"). I'm going to close this issue as a dupe of #3295, but if you think it's a different issue feel free to comment here!

Thanks! I'll be even happier with tombstones than minidumps (this is just what the sentry UI currently allows me to enable, without effect). :) When can we expect this feature in production?

you can follow progress in the linked PR, but I'd expect before EOY
