Conditionally send View Hierarchies to Sentry with certain events

[michaelchai-sentry]

Problem Statement

A user reported that they would only like to send View Hierarchies for events of a certain level (i.e. only fatal events). Right now, it is a opt-in feature that allow only allows you to set it to true/false. The reasoning behind wanting this is to reduce the overhead of data sent, and that they want to cut down the noise and are only interested in View Hierarchies for certain events.

Solution Brainstorm

Add some conditional logic to this feature, such as the before send callback

The user should be able to adjust this in beforeSend. Which SDK are they using?

[philipphofmann]

They have to use the hints in beforeSend, which doesn't work on Cocoa cause we don't have hints yet.

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you label it Status: Backlog or Status: In Progress, I will leave it alone ... forever!

[marandaneto]

Other platforms already support the filtering of view hierarchies and screenshots via beforeSend and Hints, only iOS is pending but there's already a ticket open getsentry/sentry-cocoa#3007
Closing this one.
