Sentry-debug-meta.properties file was not found

SDKs
1

I have added Sentry to my android project following the installation guide here:

and here:

I also enabled debug for sentry in the manifest. Made sure the sentry.properties is under ./android. when I run the app I get the “sentry-debug-meta.properties file was not found” error in the logs. And the event is never sent to sentry dashboard. Here is the log :

What is going wrong?

this is only a debug message, not a bug, this file won’t exist if you don’t enable proguard/r8 in your app and apply the sentry gradle plugin which is documented here https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/android/proguard/

Thanks for the quick response!

I enabled progaurd/r8 and the message went away. However after setting everything as per instructions its still not uploading the events to the dashboard. It show the error “E/Sentry: Envelope submission failed”. Below are the logs:

are there more logs after Envelope submission failed?

are you using sentry.io or on-premise?

which version of the SDK are you trying out?

5

We are using on premise and 20.8.0.dev0.

We updated the server to latest version, 20.10.1

Also I tried creating an account on cloud and setup for that and it works but not on-premise.

Also its work mentioning that it works for on-premise for other SDKs, i.e. iOS, and python.

The problem only exists with the android Sentry SDK

@syedhaider1988 what’s not working exactly?

what are you trying to do and what’s the issue? I see a bunch of logs but I don’t understand “what’s not working”.

If the issue is about ‘Sentry-debug-meta.properties file was not found’.
1st thing is to upgrade the Gradle plugin to the latest version: 1.7.36

2nd thing is to upgrade the SDK to the latest version 3.2.0

Let us know if that helps.
