UseSentry or SentrySdk.Init call

builder.WebHost.UseSentry("{my-dsn}")

Steps to Reproduce

Run the application.

Expected Result

Application works.

Appears that the default behaviour to disable sentry native has regressed as is no longer self-disabling.

Actual Result

Sorry to hear the problem is back. 🙁 I can reproduce the problem with Sentry 5.11.0 and a minimal Native AOT hello world in Docker:

$ dotnet new console -o HelloWorld --aot
$ cd HelloWorld
$ dotnet add package Sentry --version 5.11.0
$ cat > Program.cs <<'EOF'
SentrySdk.Init(options =>
{
    options.Dsn = "https://foo@sentry.invalid/42";
    options.Debug = true;
});

Console.WriteLine("Hello, Sentry!");
EOF

$ dotnet publish -p:EnableSdkContainerSupport=true -t:PublishContainer
...
$ docker run --rm helloworld
...

@jamescrosswell For some reason, the new $(_SentryIsNet8OrGreater) condition doesn't seem to work in buildTransitive/Sentry.Native.targets. Consequently, consuming apps don't link to libsentry-native.a. Changing the condition back to $([MSBuild]::IsTargetFrameworkCompatible('$(TargetFramework)', 'net8.0')) avoids the linking problem.

• chore: Added IsNet8OrGreater build prop for readablility #4275

[jpnurmi]

These properties in Sentry.props are seemingly evaluated too early:

sentry-dotnet/src/Sentry/buildTransitive/Sentry.props

Lines 3 to 8 in 30dffad

	<!-- Helpful properties used elsewhere -->
	<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(TargetFramework)' != ''">
	<_SentryTargetFrameworkVersion>$([MSBuild]::GetTargetFrameworkVersion($(TargetFramework)))</_SentryTargetFrameworkVersion>
	<_SentryIsNet8OrGreater>$([MSBuild]::VersionGreaterThanOrEquals($(_SentryTargetFrameworkVersion), 8.0))</_SentryIsNet8OrGreater>
	<_SentryIsNet9OrGreater>$([MSBuild]::VersionGreaterThanOrEquals($(_SentryTargetFrameworkVersion), 9.0))</_SentryIsNet9OrGreater>
	</PropertyGroup>

With some native link-time diagnostics in Sentry.Native.targets:

  <Target Name="_LinkSentryNative" BeforeTargets="LinkNative">
    <Message Text="### SentryNative: '$(SentryNative)'" Importance="high" />
    <Message Text="### TargetFramework: '$(TargetFramework)'" Importance="high" />
    <Message Text="### _SentryIsNet8OrGreater: '$(_SentryIsNet8OrGreater)'" Importance="high" />
    <Message Text="### _SentryIsNet9OrGreater: '$(_SentryIsNet9OrGreater)'" Importance="high" />
    <Message Text="### OutputType: '$(OutputType)'" Importance="high" />
    <Message Text="### FrameworkSupportsNative: '$(FrameworkSupportsNative)'" Importance="high" />
  </Target>

The output is:

  HelloWorld succeeded (9.0s) → bin/Release/net9.0/linux-x64/publish/
    Generating native code
    ### SentryNative: ''
    ### TargetFramework: 'net9.0'
    ### _SentryIsNet8OrGreater: ''
    ### _SentryIsNet9OrGreater: ''
    ### OutputType: 'Exe'
    ### FrameworkSupportsNative: ''

Simply copying and pasting the property group from Sentry.props to Sentry.Native.targets makes the app run. The output changes to:

  HelloWorld succeeded (9.4s) → bin/Release/net9.0/linux-x64/publish/
    Generating native code
    ### SentryNative: ''
    ### TargetFramework: 'net9.0'
    ### _SentryIsNet8OrGreater: 'True'
    ### _SentryIsNet9OrGreater: 'True'
    ### OutputType: 'Exe'
    ### FrameworkSupportsNative: 'true'

Thanks @martincostello for adopting new versions of our SDK early and reporting issues ... sorry for the inconvenience.
We've published v5.11.1 fixing the issue.
Thanks @jpnurmi for the fix and the new integration tests.
