I have the following issue:

The TempSensorBreadcrumbsIntegration is reading BODY_SENSORS information (while I do not need it), and the app is rejected by stores due to reading privacy data. Therefore, I would appreciate it if there is a way to disable this integration.

@fzyzcjy you can disable it on Android directly https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/android/enriching-events/breadcrumbs/#disable-automatic-breadcrumbs
See the io.sentry.breadcrumbs.system-events entry, or enableAutoNativeBreadcrumbs on Flutter directly.
Which store is rejecting it? the temperature should not be PII.

Which store is rejecting it? the temperature should not be PII.

Tencent store (with ~1 billion target users where google play is banned). It says sentry is reading BODY_SENSORS (though I think indeed it is not), and provides this stack trace:

Thanks! However, will this also remove many other types of events as well? I only want to remove that one, while other many events should still exist

[marandaneto]

Yes, it will remove all the system events crumbs, so PhoneStateBreadcrumbsIntegration and SystemEventsBreadcrumbsIntegration won't work either, we don't have a specific flag for TempSensorBreadcrumbsIntegration, maybe we can introduce one specifically for this case if this is more of a general problem, more granular fields is fine if its needed.
You can also do this https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/flutter/native-init/
and remove the SystemEventsBreadcrumbsIntegration from the integrations list manually on the Android SDK.

[fzyzcjy]

Thank you. So when will we ave that flag? Looking forward to it!

@marandaneto Hi I am going to make a PR to introduce this when having time :)
