8.44.0

Features

• Add enableStandaloneAppStartTracing option to send app start as a standalone transaction instead of attaching it as a child span of the first activity transaction (#5342)
  • Disabled by default; opt in via options.isEnableStandaloneAppStartTracing = true or manifest meta-data io.sentry.standalone-app-start-tracing.enable
  • Emits a transaction named App Start with op app.start, carrying the existing app start measurements and phase spans (process.load, contentprovider.load, application.load, activity lifecycle spans) as direct children of the root
  • The standalone transaction shares the same traceId as the first ui.load activity transaction so they remain linked in the trace view
  • Also covers non-activity starts (broadcast receivers, services, content providers)

Improvements

• Reduce boxing to improve performance (#5523, #5527, #5551)
• Replace Date with a unix timestamp in SentryNanotimeDate to improve performance (#5550)
  • SentryNanotimeDate is now marked @ApiStatus.Internal. A new (long unixDateMillis, long nanos) constructor was added, where unixDateMillis is milliseconds since the epoch. The existing (Date, long) constructor is retained but deprecated.
