📜 Description

Backfill release, environment, distribution (dist), and app version/build on ANR and native crash events from the current SDK options when persisted values are unavailable.

This covers exits that happen before SDK initialization, when the SDK has not yet persisted those options. Current values are used only when the app has not been updated since the exit. A missing or invalid package update timestamp is treated conservatively so historical events are not attributed to a newer app version.

💡 Motivation and Context

ANR and native crash events are reported from ApplicationExitInfo on the next SDK initialization. If the terminated process exited before initializing the SDK, release-related options were never persisted and the reported event can be missing useful metadata.

The reporting process already has the same values in its current options when the package has not been updated. Comparing the exit timestamp with PackageInfo.lastUpdateTime allows those values to be used without attaching metadata from a newer app version.

Closes #4227
Closes #3287

💚 How did you test it?

  • ./gradlew ':sentry-android-core:testDebugUnitTest' --tests='*ApplicationExitInfoEventProcessorTest*' --info (42 tests passed)
  • ./gradlew spotlessApply apiDump

📝 Checklist

  • I added GH Issue ID & Linear ID
  • I added tests to verify the changes.
  • No new PII added or SDK only sends newly added PII if sendDefaultPII is enabled.
  • I updated the docs if needed.
  • I updated the wizard if needed.
  • Review from the native team if needed.
  • No breaking change or entry added to the changelog.
  • No breaking change for hybrid SDKs or communicated to hybrid SDKs.
  • Public API changes reviewed by another Mobile SDK team member or implemented according to the develop docs spec.
