HockeyApp v5.0.3 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-10-03 // over 6 years ago

  • 🚀 This release now limits the number of crashes that are stored by the SDK while the device is offline to 100 Crashes. HockeySDK-Android will stop to collect crashes until the number of unsent crashes drops below the limit of 100 unsent crashes.

    • 🛠 [BUGFIX] Fixes a possible OutOfMemoryError exception. This only occurs when a very large number of crashes – several 100k or more – wasn't sent to the server. #313

    💥 Breaking changes in version 5.0.0

    HockeySDK 5.0.0 raises the minimum API level to 15.
    🏗 In addition, we no longer support restricting builds by device id. The reason is that, with Android O, ANDROID_ID no longer ensures a consistent way of identification of a user.

    To be ready for Android O, HockeySDK-Android now limits the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission with the maxSdkVersion filter. In some use cases, e.g. where an app contains a dependency that requires this permission, maxSdkVersion makes it impossible for those dependencies to grant or request the permission. The solution for those cases is to declare the tools:node="replace" manifest merging strategy later in the dependency tree:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" tools:node="replace"/>
