feat(attributes): Add app context attributes for mobile#296
Conversation
Add app.name, app.identifier, app.version, app.build, app.start_time, and app.in_foreground attributes for mobile app context metadata. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
These are redundant with sentry.release which already contains the app identifier, version, and build number. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Also derivable from existing context and sentry.release. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…uild These provide standalone structured values independent of how sentry.release is formatted by the user. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
Adds a set of mobile-focused application context attributes under the app.* namespace to the semantic conventions registry and regenerates the language bindings (Python + TypeScript) to expose them consistently.
Changes:
- Introduces six new
app.*attributes in the registry (model/attributes/app/*.json) with SDK scoping for mobile SDKs. - Regenerates Python attribute name/constants, metadata map, and typed attribute mapping to include the new keys.
- Regenerates TypeScript attribute constants/types, metadata, and attribute typing to include the new keys.

app.start_time, app.version, app.identifier, and app.build cannot contain personal data. app.name remains maybe. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Set pii to maybe for app.version, app.build, app.start_time, and app.identifier to be consistent with analogous attributes like browser.version, os.version, and os.build_id. Only app.in_foreground remains false as a boolean cannot contain PII. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
