Is there limitation "Android App Bundles" if we use manual instrumentation?

[Romanenkov_Alex]

Hello community!

We are planning to manual instrument customers mobile application.

There are limitations - https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/technology-support/operating-systems/android/legacy-documenta...

• You can't instrument Android App Bundles

Customer use this feature.

So i have question:

Is there limitation "Android App Bundles" if we instrument APK manually?

I think that there is this limitation only for auto-instrumentation. So, if we plan to do it manual, we can don`t worry about it.

Correct me if i wrong, thank you.

Regards,

Alexander

Hello Alexander,

You linked the documentation of the 7.x version of the plugin. This version was replaced by the 8.x version, which is capable of auto-instrumenting Android app bundles. Because the manual instrumentation process is time consuming, you should first try out the new plugin version and see if it fits your requirements.

Yes, manual instrumentation with the 7.x agent is not affected by the mentioned limitation, because they only apply to auto-instrumentation. You find the limitations for manual instrumentation (7.x version) on this page. If you want to use manual instrumentation, then you should also use the 8.x version.
