User Feedback Widget through Prefab #928
Description
Give users an easier way to provide user feedback using prefabs
Sentry has a User Feedback feature that is able to show the feedback collected from a user following an error, or simply initiated by a user (without the need to be connected to an error/event).
The feedback collection allows attaching trace information as well as Session Replay. In addition to other context like tags.
In terms of SDK support, in JS we added a web widget, that's easy to add to the screen:
The goal is to add a similar capability to mobile SDKs.
This SDK already has CaptureFeedback through the .NET SDK:
See:
- https://develop.sentry.dev/application-architecture/feedback-architecture/
- feat: User Feedback widget/form sentry-cocoa#4187
The widget has been added to the iOS SDK with quite a few features already. And is also being added to the other major SDKs:
- [EPIC] Feedback Widget for React Native sentry-react-native#4302
- User Feedback UI widget sentry-cocoa#4270
- Implement new user feedback widget sentry-java#3613
- User Feedback Widget sentry-godot#170
- User Feedback Widget sentry-unreal#893
- Support sending User Feedback without errors/exceptions sentry-dotnet#3981
- https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-dart/blob/7954fb356f96f17127c41230af433bc9ce01233c/flutter/lib/src/feedback/sentry_feedback_widget.dart#L55
Some ideas are new and are not aligned across all SDKs, for example:
- Show user feedback dialog when a screenshot is detected sentry-dart#2541
But ideally we have a similar behavior/look/feel as much as that makes sense. Things should be idiomatic (e.g: swiping down in the modal removes the feedback widget for example)
- Add to docs: https://docs.sentry.io/product/user-feedback/setup/

Implementation
Looking through the JS documentation for inspiration there are a two bigger points
The Widget - A configurable prefab
A prefab with one
SentryUserFeedbackMonoBehavioursitting on the root. The MonoBehaviour reads the feedback widget control options duringAwake. The options could be stored on theScriptableSentryUnityOptions.assetthat are saved to/Resource. They could also be their own.asset.The initially supported workflow for these would be either:
.prefabcan be instantiated as is, wherever users want to..prefabcan be copied by users, creating variants that can be freely modified.SentryUnity.CreateFeedbackWidgetthat would take aRectTransformand some additional arguments and instantiate the default prefab at the given place in the hierarchy.Controls what to show
