Hi, and thanks so much for your PR!
Since this includes major changes, we’ll take some time to evaluate the best path forward.

Could you share what motivated you to bump the Android and JavaScript SDK versions?

Thanks again for your contribution!

[MaximBelov]

Hi
Regarding the Android SDK:
Our project uses the Intercom SDK, which has a transitive dependency on Sentry:
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/intercom/android/intercom-sdk-base/16.3.0/intercom-sdk-base-16.3.0.pom

Regarding the JavaScript SDK:
While updating this part is optional, we would like to use the latest version of the Sentry SDK if feasible.

With the recent changes to Android regarding page sizes, upgrading the sentry-java SDK would allow Cordova apps using Sentry to adhere to this new standard, which are not passing with the current 1.7 version.

Using the Google provided check_elf script:
Version 1.7 with Sentry Android v7.22.6

modified version with Sentry Android v8.21.1

Is there more work to be done on this PR? We have experimented locally with similar changes and the plugin appears to work fine.

@Virgile-R can you double check which version of the sentry SDK you're using?

Downloading 7.22.6 from our releases page and extracting the .aar shows that all files are aligned:

./check_elf_alignment.sh sentry-android-ndk-7.22.6

=== ELF alignment ===
sentry-android-ndk-7.22.6/sentry-android-ndk-release/jni/armeabi-v7a/libsentry.so: \e[32mALIGNED\e[0m (2**14)

Thanks @markushi , we were indeed still on version 7.17. Building with version 7.22.6 shows the correct alignment.

All good.

We are closing this as we will no longer update the SDK. All our efforts are now focused on Capacitor, React Native, and Flutter.
