7.0.0

• API and functional changes in this major release are documented in the Upgrade Guide. Key ones to be aware of include:

  • Moments feature and API have been removed in favor of Traces, which should be used instead to track how long workflows in the app took to complete.
  • Public API methods are all implemented in Kotlin, so passing in nulls in Java for parameters annotated with @NonNull will cause a runtime exception and could cause a crash.
  • Firebase Cloud Messaging and Compose tap instrumentation require explicit inclusion of modules in your Gradle files.
  • Remove support for deprecated properties in embrace-config.json and the Embrace Gradle plugin.

• New features and other changes in this release include:

  • Customizable, automatic instrumentation of Activity load and Jetpack Compose Navigation (requires opt-in for now)
  • Auto-termination of spans based on navigation
  • Customization of app startup trace through custom attributes and child spans
  • Public API to get the timestamp used by the SDK so custom spans for app startup and UI load traces can be in sync with other spans in the trace
  • API to disable data export at programmatically for the currently running instance of the app
  • Associate native crashes with the device and app metadata at the time of crash instead of the time of reporting
  • Configuration setting to enable Network Span Forwarding traceparent injection into network request spans for non-Embrace users
