@TheRealAgentK Good work tackling this dependency upgrade. A few thoughts:

The demo app changes look fine, but I'm curious about the SDK changes. The SDK's build.gradle should ideally be as permissive as possible since it's consumed by host apps that control their own build environment.

Changes required for RN 0.83 / AGP 8.x compatibility:

  • namespace "com.raygun.react" — required for AGP 8.x
  • react-android artifact (was react-native) — required for RN 0.71+

Changes to investigate further:

  • DEFAULT_MIN_SDK_VERSION 19 → 24 — Is this required by RN 0.83, or just aligning with the demo app? (If required, that's fine - just want to confirm)
  • DEFAULT_COMPILE_SDK_VERSION 28 → 35 — Host apps typically override this anyway
  • Removing the standalone buildscript block — Intentional?
  • Timber 4.7.1 → 5.0.1 — Any API changes to be aware of?
  • SDK's Gradle wrapper 7.6.3 → 8.14.2 — Host app typically controls this

Should we keep the SDK changes minimal (just the required compatibility fixes) and leave defaults conservative where possible? Or if these are all genuinely required for RN 0.83 compatibility, should we document them as breaking changes?

This removes the ability to build the SDK standalone. Is this intentional?

I reverted this for now back to 19 because it seems the sdk builds ok with it.

Note - as discussed on Slack, we will need to update RG4Android that's bundled and that will push up min sdk to 23 anyway soon. But for now we can stick with 19.

  • DEFAULT_COMPILE_SDK_VERSION 28 → 35 — Host apps typically override this anyway
  • SDK's Gradle wrapper 7.6.3 → 8.14.2 — Host app typically controls this

I think that's fine because we need to make sure we go with updated tooling. I'm not 100% certain how exactly the build flow of a RN works in depth - happy to get more input from you, but I'd usually keep this as up-to-date as possible in Android-land.

  • Removing the standalone buildscript block — Intentional?

No, not really. What exactly would fail or not work anymore without this? Just curious - because it seems I can build the sdk itself fine.

  • Timber 4.7.1 → 5.0.1 — Any API changes to be aware of?

I reverted this - will have to be updated to 5.0.1 though with the future RG4Android upgrade.

Should we keep the SDK changes minimal (just the required compatibility fixes) and leave defaults conservative where possible? Or if these are all genuinely required for RN 0.83 compatibility, should we document them as breaking changes?

I've reverted some that I think are fine. @velocitysystems @miquelbeltran happy to take more feedback and more specific build flow know-how for RN specifically into consideration.
