7.8.0

• Update limits and truncation logic.
  • Session/Log properties:
    • Properties per Session/Log: 10 -> 100
    • Value: 256 -> 1024 characters
  • Spans:
    • Name length: 50 -> 128 characters
    • Custom attributes per span: 50 -> 100
    • Attribute keys: 50 -> 128 characters
    • Attribute values: 200 -> 1024 characters

• Update OpenTelemetry API and SDK to 1.52.0

Warning: this release bumped the minimum supported version of Kotlin to 2.0. If you need to use an older version, compatibility with 1.8.22 is restored in Embrace 7.9.0.

7.7.0

• Improve cold startup trace by automatically instrumenting Application.onCreate() invocation
• Add session.id attribute to all Spans that denotes the session in which a Span started in

• Require desugaring at build time when minSdk < 26 due to OTel SDK issue

Warning: this release bumped the minimum supported version of Kotlin to 2.0. If you need to use an older version, compatibility with 1.8.22 is restored in Embrace 7.9.0.

7.6.1

This version is identical to 7.6.0 except that the desugaring requirement if Android 7.x is supported will be verified at build time.

This patch is unnecessary if you are already running 7.6.0. But if you support Android 7.x, ensure that you have desugaring enabled or else the Embrace SDK will not start for apps running on those Android versions.

• Require desugaring at build time when minSdk < 26 due to OTel SDK issue

7.6.0

• Fix a Dexguard issue when bundle and assemble are executed in the same Gradle command.
• Stop tracking ANRs for sessions that start and stay in the background.
