Enabling tombstone with sentry.maui on android

[jonathanmourtadahqv]

Problem

I'd like to enable the Tombstone integration (Android 12+ native crash reporting
via ApplicationExitInfo) in a .NET MAUI Android app.

The Java SDK (8.32.0+) supports this via options.isTombstoneEnabled = true, and
sentry-dotnet 6.2.0 bundles Java SDK 8.34.1 — but the options.Native wrapper
doesn't expose a TombstoneEnabled / IsTombstoneEnabled property.

What I've tried

• options.Native — no tombstone-related property available
• options.Android — nothing there either
• Adding <meta-data android:name="io.sentry.tombstone.enable" android:value="true" />
  to AndroidManifest.xml — not picked up because MAUI sets io.sentry.auto-init
  to false and initializes the Java SDK programmatically
• Java reflection — options.Native is a C# wrapper, not a Java.Lang.Object,
  so JNI reflection isn't possible from it

Expected

A property like options.Native.IsTombstoneEnabled = true that gets forwarded to
SentryAndroidOptions.setTombstoneEnabled(true) during init.

Environment

• Sentry.Maui 6.2.0
• .NET 10 / MAUI
• Android 12+ target

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
And thank you for trying out alternatives / workarounds.

From what I can see, the Sentry Android SDK currently exposes these options:

• isReportHistoricalTombstones / setReportHistoricalTombstones
• isTombstoneEnabled / setTombstoneEnabled

Exposing a forward for this in the .NET SDK is a great idea.
Probably - as you mentioned - in the shape of

// target: net9.0-android35.0
// target: net10.0-android36.0
namespace Sentry
{
  public partial class SentryOptions
  {
    public class NativeOptions
    {
+     public bool TombstoneEnabled { get; set; }
    }
  }
}

@jonathanmourtadahqv. would you mind opening an issue (Feature Request)?

Great :) I've created #5027
