October 2025 summary for bitdriftlabs/capture-sdk: Focused on Android stability, performance, and build quality, delivering a stable startup path, improved networking efficiency, and automated validation. Key changes include Android compatibility improvements (deferring SDK start for the Gradle sample app, avoiding early CaptureOkHttpEventListener init, JNI release-build fixes, minSdk 23, improved exception handling, and UI revamp for the Gradle demo), enhanced Android build/test tooling (verify script, build.gradle tweaks, test cleanup, and experimental API annotation), performance optimizations (reduce map allocations and reuse a single OkHttpClient), cross-component upgrades (latest shared core and Report fbs model) and SDK lifecycle improvements (start without SessionReplay), plus release-quality fixes (iOS doccarchive version fix, installAppExit/saveCurrentSessionId, and ANR categorization) and build-time flatbuffers generation. These changes collectively reduce startup risk, improve runtime efficiency, and accelerate customer value.
