Steps to Reproduce

We have an application which only exposes a Service. This is normally bound to by some of our other applications to exchange information.

We upgraded to .NET 9 and Sentry to 5.0.1 recently, and we see a weird crash when the Service starts, we initially thought it was some of our dependencies that were causing the issue, but seems like even when moving the initialization code to MainApplication it throws the following exception at startup:

This is when we call the following code in MainApplication.OnCreate:

var options = new SentryLoggingOptions
{
    Dsn = "our-dsn-here",
    MinimumEventLevel = LogLevel.Critical
};
options.DisableUnobservedTaskExceptionCapture();
SentrySdk.Init(options);

Interestingly we had the IsGlobalModeEnabled = false set in options then it seemd to crash differently at startup with:

I've managed to narrow this down to the project property AndroidEnableAssemblyCompression which we had set to false. If I recall correctly, we set this to work around an issue in an earlier version of the .NET Android workloads that would crash the App at startup trying to unpack the assemblies.

My question is, why does this cause Sentry to crash at startup when this property is set to false. Seemingly it mainly happens in Sentry code, because when we remove SentrySdk.Init the rest of the App seems to work OK.

Here is a repo with the issue: https://github.com/Cheesebaron/SentryInitCrash build it in Release mode and deploy to an emulator/device and start the main activity. It will crash on startup with a similar error as above.

Expected Result

SentrySdk.Init should with with AndroidEnableAssemblyCompression = false?

Actual Result

See exceptions above.

Hey @Cheesebaron,

Thanks for raising an issue. I'd avoid setting IsGlobalModeEnabled = false in UI applications. That would cause all kinds of issues (it causes scopes, transactions and breadcrumbs etc. to have an affinity for async contexts - that makes sense for HTTP requests in an ASP.NET apps but not for Android or MAUI apps).

The original problem you're seeing appears to be coming from here:

sentry-dotnet/src/Sentry/Internal/InstallationIdHelper.cs

Line 60 in 7da3cf3

var directoryPath = Path.Combine(rootPath, "Sentry", options.Dsn!.GetHashString());

sentry-dotnet/src/Sentry/Internal/Extensions/HashExtensions.cs

Line 9 in e827b76

var hash = sha.ComputeHash(bytes);

Seemingly that ComputeHash method fails on your target platform. It's weird that it complains about concurrent use, since the whole thing is wrapped in a lock:

sentry-dotnet/src/Sentry/Internal/InstallationIdHelper.cs

Line 21 in 7da3cf3

lock (_installationIdLock)

The good news is that I can reproduce with the sample app you provided! And I've found a couple of clues on stack overflow so it should be possible to find a way to work around this.

[Cheesebaron]

I am not even sure why it is only an issue when AndroidEnableAssemblyCompression in csproj is to false. Almost inclined to say it is an issue in the .NET workload.

The Global Mode seems to be a misunderstanding from my colleague when setting up Sentry in that App, will let them know 🤔

Interestingly, I don't get the problem with the following changes:

- var options = new SentryLoggingOptions
+ var options = new SentryOptions
   {
-       Dsn = "https://eb18e953812b41c3aeb042e666fd3b5c@o447951.ingest.us.sentry.io/5428537",
+       Dsn = "https://eb18e953812b41c3aeb042e666fd3b5c@o447951.ingest.us.sentry.io/5428537"
-       MinimumEventLevel = LogLevel.Critical
   };
   SentrySdk.Init(options);

This is odd since the SentryLoggingOptions aren't used in any call to AddSentry to initialise the MEL integration in the minimal repro app... so I wouldn't expect this to have any impact on the SDK initialisation (the extra properties in SentryLoggingOptions should just be ignored when calling SentrySdk.Init).

@Cheesebaron is there a reason why you're using SentryLoggingOptions rather than SentryOptions in the call to Init?
