Start the SDK from JavaScript only

Users are now able to initialize the SDK completely from JavaScript rather than having to write the initialization code for Android in the Java/Kotlin files. Android initialization is now consistent with how you used to initialize the SDK for iOS by using the same API i.e. Instabug.start.

Migrate the initialization code to JS

When migrating to the new initialization method, you'll need to follow the below steps:

1. Remove Instabug’s native Android initialization code from android/app/src/main/java/<your_package>/MainApplication.java

2. Initialize Instabug in your JavaScript, depending on the platforms you use:

import Instabug from 'instabug-reactnative';

Instabug.start('APP_TOKEN', [Instabug.invocationEvent.floatingButton]);

import { Platform } from 'react-native';
import Instabug from 'instabug-reactnative';

if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
  Instabug.start('IOS_APP_TOKEN', [Instabug.invocationEvent.floatingButton]);
} else if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
  Instabug.start('ANDROID_APP_TOKEN', [Instabug.invocationEvent.floatingButton]);
}

import { Platform } from 'react-native';
import Instabug from 'instabug-reactnative';

if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
  Instabug.start('APP_TOKEN', [Instabug.invocationEvent.floatingButton]);
}

3. Use JavaScript APIs instead of the native Android builder methods.

Removed APIs not marked as Deprecated

The below APIs were removed as well but were not marked as deprecated previously.

1. Surveys.setThresholdForReshowingSurveyAfterDismiss
2. Renamed BugReporting.setAutoScreenRecordingMaxDuration to BugReporting.setAutoScreenRecordingDurationIOS to target iOS only as the native Android API has been removed from the native SDK.
3. Removed the string keys surveysCustomThanksTitle and surveysCustomThanksSubtitle
