Pre-Release Versions

The Sentry Android Gradle Plugin publishes snapshot builds to Maven Central Snapshots on every push to the main branch. These snapshots let you test unreleased fixes and features before a stable release.

Add the Snapshots Repository

Add the Maven Central Snapshots repository to pluginManagement in your project's settings.gradle file:

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url = uri("https://central.sonatype.com/repository/maven-snapshots/")
        }
        // existing repositories
    }
}

Set the Snapshot Version

Replace the plugin version in your app/build.gradle file with the snapshot version:

plugins {
    id("com.android.application")
    id("io.sentry.android.gradle") version "6.3.0-SNAPSHOT"
}

Kotlin Compiler Plugin

The Sentry Kotlin Compiler Plugin snapshots are published from the same repository with the same version. If you're using it, update its version as well:

plugins {
    id("io.sentry.kotlin.compiler.gradle") version "6.3.0-SNAPSHOT"
}

Finding the Current Snapshot Version

The snapshot version matches the development version on the main branch with -SNAPSHOT appended. To find the current snapshot version, check the version property in plugin-build/gradle.properties and append -SNAPSHOT.

For example, if the file contains version = 6.3.0, the snapshot version is 6.3.0-SNAPSHOT.

Gradle Caching

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.cacheChangingModulesFor(0, "seconds")
}

Once you're done testing, remember to revert to a stable release version and remove the snapshots repository before shipping your app.
