Using BeforeSend to filter out Screenshots for certain Views in MAUI and Xamarin Forms SDKs

[velvet haven]

Is it possible to exclude certain views from Screenshot attachment when using the MAUI and Xamarin Forms SDKs?

[glass ridge]

there is a SetBeforeScreenshotCapture option for MAUI that has not been release yet:
https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-dotnet/issues/3353
https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-dotnet/pull/3661

there isnt the plan to add the option to xamarin forms just yet, you can try to use the workaround as in the issue above

and open a feature request to expand it to xamarin via our repo: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-xamarin/issues

I was just reading the workaround. Can we see what type the View is from the hint argument?

[glass ridge]

you can inspect the event object

Cool, Thanks

im not super familiar with MAUI to give a more precise code example

[velvet haven]

That's fine

[glass ridge]

basically the event object in beforeSend is the event you see in your Sentry project

note that this callback wasn’t shipped yet. will go out on the next release https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-dotnet/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#features

as Bruno mentioned it won't be available until the next release, but the way you'll be able to use it is by adding an option: ``` options.SetBeforeScreenshotCapture((@event, hint) =>
{

                // Return true to capture or false to prevent the capture
                return true;
            }); ``` you'll be able to programmatically choose to take a screenshot of not by returning `true` or `false`. I submitted a PR for the documentation so hopefully you'll have the doc for the feature on its release

we can make a release at anytime btw. @buoyant quarry can we pull the trigger?
