The Dynatrace Android Gradle plugin is compatible with the Firebase Performance Monitoring plugin. We recommend either using only one performance monitoring plugin or verifying via manual testing that the plugins you've chosen are compatible. There might be compatibility issues with other performance monitoring plugins, especially when these plugins instrument OneAgent for Android. xml filesĬompatibility with other monitoring tools

Native code, such as code written with the NDK.

It doesn’t instrument the following components: The Android Gradle plugin only instruments the AndroidManifest.xml and other. Therefore, the plugin can ensure maximum compatibility with other security-focused and APK-hardening tools that calculate checksums for the DEX code, such as DexGuard and Arxan. dex bytecode that can be executed in the Android Runtime. Security and APK-hardening tools: Bytecode instrumentation happens before obfuscation and before Android Dexer (D8) transforms the. If you use another tool for obfuscation, you must ensure that the obfuscation task is executed after the auto-instrumentation process. Obfuscations and optimization: The auto-instrumentation process is completed before the R8 Gradle task. Java and Kotlin: The Dynatrace Android Gradle plugin supports the instrumentation of Java and Kotlin classes. By providing support for incremental builds and the build cache, the instrumentation of apps will be almost unnoticed.

Performance-wise, bytecode instrumentation is quick and has a low impact on the build time.

It can instrument the source files of all subprojects and third-party libraries. The Dynatrace Android Gradle plugin uses bytecode instrumentation to instrument your app. Starting with OneAgent for Android version 8.261, Dynatrace no longer supports Java 8 for the Dynatrace Android Gradle plugin because Java 11 is required for the latest version of the Android Gradle plugin API.
