fix: Android - make sure logcat.log is attached to unhandled event (SIGSEGV Segfault)

[bricefriha]

From sentry-native#1027, we had to add the handler strategy to the .NET SDK, from the sentry-java (7.15.0-alpha1).

This is also meant to fix #3461. I tested this, and it seems to be fixed now.

More context at:

• SIGSEGV reported by Sentry when a NullReferenceException is thrown in Release mode dotnet/android#9055 (comment)

Note

These changes seem to require a -alpha release

Requested this release that we can share with testers.

Awesome! thank you for that.
Shoudl we merge?

Shoudl we merge?

We could, but the issue is that we need to use the Android SDK version 7.15.0-alpha.1 until the NDKHandler setting is available on the full release. So shouldn't we wait for that first?

If it's validated, we should reach out to folks on Android to merge that to main and ship a new release.

We can merge ours (after bumping to that version) then.

Also: Should that option be the new default? So users don't need to do anything?

sounds good

yes it is, so basically users don't need to change anything at all

What's the next steps for this?

I let the Java team know that we are ready to merge so they are working on merging their PRs as well

once they have the update on the main release, we can merge

merged! getsentry/sentry-native#1027 (comment)

We'd like to wait for their release though, so we can checkout the release tag instead of a random commit sha
