We’ve received reports indicating that an ANR has been triggered, and the root cause appears to be related to the Sentry Android plugin. The ANR occurs during file access in the external storage while processing events in Sentry.

Could you please investigate this issue further?

Expected Result

Sentry should work without creating the ANR

Actual Result

Sentry is causing the ANR and impacting the app's performance

The Sentry Android Plugin is a Gradle Build Plugin, I hope you're not shipping that within your app 😅
In any case this sounds like something we should have a look at, thanks for reporting!
