Android集成Finotes自动化Bug上报SDK后，Release版本无法上报问题求助

Hey there, let's figure out why your Finotes SDK isn't reporting bugs in the Release build—this is a super common issue with Android release builds, so let's walk through the most likely fixes step by step:

• Fix ProGuard/R8 Obfuscation Issues
  Release builds enable obfuscation by default, which can scramble Finotes' core classes and break its functionality. Add these rules to your proguard-rules.pro file to keep Finotes' code intact:

  -keep class com.finotes.android.** { *; }
  -keepattributes *Annotation*
  -dontwarn com.finotes.android.**
  

  These lines ensure Finotes' classes, annotations, and dependencies aren't obfuscated, so the SDK can run as intended.

• Check Initialization Logic
  Double-check that you're initializing Finotes in your Application class's onCreate() method without wrapping it in a debug-only condition. It's easy to accidentally write something like:

  if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
      Finotes.initialize(this);
  }
  

  If that's the case, the SDK won't start at all in Release builds. Move the initialization code outside any debug checks to ensure it runs for all build variants.

• Verify Release Signature Fingerprint
  Finotes validates your app's signature against the fingerprints configured in its backend. Debug builds use a default debug keystore, while Release builds use your official signing keystore. To fix this:

  1. Get your Release keystore's SHA-1/SHA-256 fingerprint using this command:

     keytool -list -v -keystore your-release-keystore.jks -alias your-key-alias
     

  2. Add this fingerprint to your Finotes project's settings in their dashboard. Without a matching fingerprint, the SDK will reject all bug reports.

• Ensure Network Access is Enabled
  Release builds sometimes have stricter network policies that block Finotes' reporting requests:

  • Make sure your AndroidManifest.xml includes the INTERNET permission:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    

  • If Finotes uses HTTP endpoints (unlikely, but possible), add android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" to your <application> tag in the manifest (for Android 9+).
  • Some device manufacturers restrict background network access—test reporting while the app is in the foreground first to rule this out.

• Temporarily Enable Logs for Debugging
  If none of the above works, enable Finotes' debug logs in the Release build to catch error messages. Add this line right after initializing the SDK:

  Finotes.enableLogs(true);
  

  Then run adb logcat | grep Finotes to view logs—look for messages like "Signature mismatch" or "Class not found" which will point you directly to the problem.
