Downgrading to ~5.24.3 which I used before resolves this issue. But that does not seem like a solution

[kahest]

Hey @ljukas thanks for reporting, we'll investigate. In the mean time, can you try if this reproduces with a newer SDK version (e.g. 6.9.1)? And make sure you clean dependencies and build artefacts between the builds.

[ljukas]

Test using 6.9.1

Same error, will test 6.10.0

[kahest]

@ljukas thanks for the 6.9.1 test - I don't think 6.10.0 will behave differently. This looks like there might be a dependency to a wrong/old sentry-java configured somewhere. cc @krystofwoldrich
