Instrument Android apps

The process of monitoring the user experience of native mobile applications is different from monitoring browser-based web applications. This is because mobile app monitoring involves the compilation, packaging, and shipment of a monitoring library along with your own mobile application package.

We no longer support Java 8 for the Dynatrace Android Gradle plugin version 8.261+, as Java 11 is required for the latest version of the Android Gradle plugin API.
