## 4.x (SDK 7.x)

### 4.0.6 (August 2026)

Stops Bugsee being added to build variants that do not include the SDK, and fixes two crashes and a
build failure. Recommended for everyone; essential if you include Bugsee in some build variants
only.

- **Build variants without Bugsee are left alone.** If you add Bugsee for some variants only — for
example with `debugImplementation`, so it is in your debug builds but not in release — your
release builds were still being wired up to call an SDK that was not there. Depending on your
setup that either failed the release build, or produced an app that crashed the moment it was
opened. Release builds are now left untouched unless Bugsee is genuinely part of them. Flavors are
handled the same way. If you declare Bugsee with plain `implementation`, nothing changes for you.

- **Fixes a crash on launch in apps using Compose.** Requires **Bugsee Android SDK 7.1.4** or newer,
which ships the matching runtime change.

- **Fixes a crash in apps using thread instrumentation.**

- **Failed operations are now timed.** A database or file operation that ended in an exception was
left looking as though it had never finished. Exception handling in your own code is unchanged.

- **Manifest optimization is applied only when your SDK version supports it.**

- **Third-party libraries that arrive already minified are left as they are.**

Release history for Bugsee Android SDK 7.x. Looking for the previous major version? See the [6.x release notes](/sdk/android/v6/release-notes). See the [migration guide](/sdk/android/migration) when planning your upgrade from 6.x.

## 7.1.4

A patch release that keeps Bugsee out of your test runs and fixes three crashes that could reach
your users.

- **Your local unit tests pass again.** Bugsee could cause failures in ordinary JVM unit tests — in
your own code, on lines that had nothing to do with Bugsee. Tests now run unaffected. If you
turned off `mainThreadMisuse`, `log`, `thread` or `operationDispatch` instrumentation to get a
green test run, you can turn them back on.

- **Trouble inside Bugsee can no longer surface from your logging calls.** Logging statements in
your app are now unaffected by anything that happens while Bugsee is capturing.

- **Fixes a crash when the report screen is reopened.** Reporting an issue could crash if Android
restored the screen after your app had been dropped from memory in the background.

- **Fixes a crash when the theme changes while a report is open.** Switching the device between
light and dark mode with a notification-opened report on screen crashed the app.

- **The notification icon appears again on devices that need the fallback.** On Huawei devices
running Android 6.0 and older, Bugsee's notification showed no small icon.

- **Screenshots are no longer lost on some storage configurations.** Where the device restricted how
Bugsee stores identical screenshots, the screenshot was dropped from the report instead of being
saved another way.

## 7.1.3

A single fix for how notification-initiated reports are labelled.

- **Reports opened from the Bugsee notification are attributed correctly.** They were recorded as if
they had been started from code, so they could not be told apart from reports opened with
`Bugsee.showReportDialog()`.

## 7.1.2

A patch release for native crash reporting. Crashes in the first moments of a launch — a window that
