Frequently asked questions
This page documents Bugsee Android SDK 6.x, the previous major version. The current line is 7.x — see Migrating from 6.x to 7.x to upgrade, or Installation to start a new integration.
1. What is the minimum Android version supported by Bugsee Android SDK?
Bugsee Android SDK supports Android 5.0 (API level 21) and up.
2. What is the memory footprint of Bugsee Android SDK?
Amount of RAM, used by Bugsee, depends on the chosen video mode and is presented in the following table
| VideoMode | Bugsee RAM footprint (MB) |
|---|---|
| None | 20 |
| V1 | 27 |
| V2 | 28 |
| V3 (default) | 28 |
These values were measured on Google Pixel 5 with Android 12 and can be influenced by device screen size.
3. I get the following error when building my app:
AAPT: error: attribute android:foregroundServiceType not found.
This means your compileSdk is too low for the Bugsee SDK version you're using — SDK 6.0.0 and newer require at least 35 (see the release notes for the exact version your build pulls in). Please switch compileSdk in your build.gradle to at least 35, as shown below.
android {
compileSdk 35
// ...
}
4. It takes too much time for the report to appear in the Bugsee web dashboard. Why?
Please check the following:
- Make sure Internet is available on the device (e.g. try to open a web page in the browser)
- Make sure you don't have WifiOnlyUpload enabled via launch options. If it's enabled, you need to be connected to WiFi for the report to be uploaded.
- If you're trying to upload a crash report, you need to relaunch the application to trigger the upload. Crash report is uploaded on the next application launch.
