On hold, off the stack: #6394 (base: #6393) moves the JVM samples to their own build. We haven't decided what to do with them yet.

📜 Description

A new Samples workflow runs check in the two Android builds the SDK build doesn't include. There is one matrix job each for sentry-samples/sentry-samples-android and sentry-android-integration-tests, with fail-fast: false. Each job uploads its own reports and JUnit summary, the same way the Build job does.

make preMerge is back to just the root check. The checkSampleAndroid and checkIntegrationTests targets from #6392 and #6393 are removed.

format-code.yml and make checkFormat don't change. Spotless also runs as part of each build's check.

💡 Motivation and Context

Until now, #6392 and #6393 ran each build's check one after the other inside Build Job ubuntu-latest. With its own workflow:

• A broken sample fails its own check instead of the SDK's Build job.
• The builds run in parallel with each other and with the SDK build.
• The Build job gets shorter.

The trade-off is more total runner minutes. Each job compiles the SDK modules its build depends on, but doesn't run their tests.

This replaces #6444, which also had a job for the JVM samples and was stacked on #6394.

Part of the Linear project "Separate sample projects and tests from build." (JAVA-626).

💚 How did you test it?

actionlint passes on the new workflow. The Samples jobs on this PR are the real test.

📝 Checklist

• I added GH Issue ID & Linear ID
• I added tests to verify the changes.
• No new PII added or SDK only sends newly added PII if sendDefaultPII is enabled.
• I updated the docs if needed.
• I updated the wizard if needed.
• Review from the native team if needed.
• No breaking change or entry added to the changelog.
• No breaking change for hybrid SDKs or communicated to hybrid SDKs.
• Public API changes reviewed by another Mobile SDK team member or implemented according to the develop docs spec.

🔮 Next steps

The main branch ruleset doesn't require the new Check <build> jobs yet, so for now they don't block merges. Requiring them takes an admin to add them to the ruleset.

If #6394 goes ahead, it adds a sentry-samples entry to this matrix instead of its checkSamples Makefile target.

Folded into #6392 (workflow + Android sample job) and #6393 (integration tests job), so the stack no longer adds Makefile targets only to remove them.
