Summary

How to use Sentry Attachments with Mobile Applications | Sentry``` Sentry's attachments feature allows developers to send additional files along with their events, making it easier to investigate issues in mobile applications. This feature is available for various platforms including iOS, Android, Java, JavaScript, Native, Xamarin and .NET. With attachments, users can attach files such as databases, JSON server responses, configurations or logs to an event, providing more context for issue investigation. The feature also includes breadcrumbs that allow developers to view the history of user interactions before an issue occurred. Sentry's SDKs can automatically record breadcrumbs, but they can be added manually as well. To use attachments, developers need to update to the latest Sentry plans and configure the attachments using a path, adding it to the global scope to be sent with every event when capturing errors or logs. The feature also allows users to view attachments on the issue detail page, either at the bottom of the page or in the attachments tab.
