New features implemented

None — no features in this version range require demo app code changes. The demo app already exercises all demonstrable SDK capabilities. Details below.

Features in the version range (no code changes needed)

• SDK 8.51.0 — Perfetto continuous profiling on API 35+: On API 35+ devices, continuous profiling now automatically uses Android's system ProfilingManager with Perfetto-based stack sampling. No configuration change is required — the demo app's existing continuous profiling setup (manifest flags + InitContentProvider) works seamlessly. The new enableLegacyProfiling option defaults to true, preserving legacy profiler support on API < 35 devices. Setting it to false is not appropriate for this demo since it would disable profiling on older devices.
• Plugin 6.16.0 — canvas_theme metadata: Automatically emitted by the plugin for Compose @Preview snapshots; entirely plugin-internal with no code changes needed.
• SDK 8.50.0 — Android 17 support: Compatibility milestone, not a new API to exercise.
• SDK 8.50.1: Fix-only release (AAR metadata for AGP 9).
• Plugin 6.17.0: Dependency updates + security fix for self-hosted auth token handling (not applicable to this demo).

Features skipped (with technical blockers)

• sentry-native 0.15.4 → 0.16.0 features: All new features are C-level APIs (minidump flags, WER integration, scope-based feedback, cache overflow reporting) or Windows-specific. These are not exposed through the Java/Kotlin Android SDK and cannot be exercised from demo app code.

Supersedes

This PR supersedes #246 which bumped to intermediate versions (plugin 6.16.0, SDK 8.50.1, native-ndk 0.15.4).

Build verification

Build could not be fully verified in the remote environment — ./gradlew assembleDebug fails with 403 from dl.google.com due to network restrictions. This is an infrastructure limitation, not a code issue. The changes are version-only bumps in app/build.gradle with no logic changes.
