Document how to initialize Sentry on native mobile apps (not MAUI)

[sauravchaudhary94]

Hi,

I have seen earlier we have support of sentry on Xamarin.Forms as well as Xamarin.Android project. But now with documentation I can see it only for Maui , I don't see any integration documentation for Maui.Android(.net For Android) project, may you please help me if we can integrate sentry with native Maui project as well? I am having .Net for Android project and want to integrate logging using it.

For native Android apps with .NET, without MAUI, you can just use the Sentry SDK.

It includes the bindings under the hood when you compile for netX-android.

The Sentry.Maui package has MAUI specific stuff, and depends on the core Sentry package with the bindings stuff.
It's what I did on Symbol Collector. It's a .NET app running on Android, without any MAUI.

We could do a better job of describing that on the docs, this has come up before.

I'll keep it open so we can document this better
