Android profiling now uses Perfetto via ProfilingManager

Nov 2, 2026 By Markus Hintersteiner In Sentry
Starting with Sentry Android SDK 8.51.0, profiling on Android 15+ devices is powered by Perfetto, through Android’s system ProfilingManager API. That means fewer legacy tracer crashes, lower CPU and memory overhead, and more representative profiles. You don’t need to change any configuration: if you already use continuous profiling, devices on Android 15 and newer pick up the new profiler as soon as you upgrade.

How to lower Android development costs by removing hardware from the critical path

Oct 16, 2026 By Bertrand Boisseau In Canonical
As an Android developer, you’ll almost always have access to a device. However, when handling hardware, the device that you actually need often happens to be already in use, set up incorrectly, stored in another lab, or simply waiting to be reset. That’s when Android development costs start to increase.

Reducing Android scope-sync overhead in Sentry Flutter

Oct 8, 2026 By Gino Buenaflor In Sentry
Our SDK adds work to the app that installs it. It records recent app activity as breadcrumbs and keeps user information and other diagnostic data up to date. Changes to that information are called scope updates. On Android, we send those updates to a worker isolate, which passes them to the Sentry Android SDK. We found that the calling isolate and the worker both normalized the same data. The encoding step also created a JSON string and an extra byte buffer that we could avoid.

Android belongs in your CI/CD pipeline

Oct 1, 2026 By Bertrand Boisseau In Canonical
How on-demand Android environments turn validation into a repeatable pipeline stage In the first article, we looked at automation: how Android environments can be created and managed programmatically. In the second, we looked at scaling: how shared infrastructure can make those environments available to more developers, tests, and workloads. This third article looks at the next step: integrating those environments directly into CI/CD.

How Etsy gets its mobile apps ready for peak traffic

Sep 30, 2026 By Sergiy Dybskiy In Sentry
Most advice about surviving a traffic spike is about capacity. Scale the fleet, warm the caches, load test the checkout path. All of it assumes you can fix whatever breaks the moment you find it. Mobile apps don’t work that way. I spent an hour on a workshop with Jay Henry, a senior engineering manager at Etsy who owns engineering strategy across three teams covering CI, build, test, release, observe, and SRE. Jay’s take: a web team having a bad day can revert in minutes.
