Session Replay is unable to mask content when using the Camera

[chris-mitchell]

Integration

sentry-android

Build System

Gradle

AGP Version

8.7.3

Proguard

Enabled

Version

8.11.1

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enable Sentry's Session Replay Feature
2. Launch the Camera from your app similar to https://developer.android.com/media/camera/camera-intents
3. Trigger an error / crash
4. View the result in Sentry

Expected Result

Contents from the Camera would be masked as the user is capturing their image

Actual Result

Contents from the Camera are shown in the Replay

We don't have a way to filter this since we don't control the app or view class used to capture the camera. Perhaps if we launch an Activity that isn't defined in our Manifest we could block it entirely?

Thanks for reaching out! Could you clarify if you're using Camera Intents or the Camera X library? (https://developer.android.com/media/camera/camerax)
On our end we should definitely filter out any camera views by default.

Good question - this error was for the Camera Intents approach. However, we seem to use both in our app. We use Camera Intents in some legacy areas, and we use Camera X via MLKit.
