Opt out of Sentry logging about jellyfin-audio-player HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @thornbill!
This is a reasonable request. In fact, I would like to make logging opt-in, but this requires some UI work, as well as some refactoring on the booting process. That will take some time. In the meantime, Build 7 remains available in Testflight, which does not include the Sentry SDK whatsoever.

For some background context:

Why the tracking?

Primarily to investigate issue #33 , but beyond this it is incredibly helpful in weeding out weird states and instances where data being passed around is not properly checked. In fact, two reports that have come in since enabling the logging have helped me quash two bugs involving rare states that could crash the application.

Why is it not optional now?

Primarily because I was investigating a boot crash that the Testflight crash logs were not providing enough information for. Since in this instance the app was crashing on launch, making the logging opt-out would have made it impossible to debug the issue.

What data is gathered?

When you subscribe to our Services from your website, game, or app, you will control what event data is collected and stored on our systems. For example, you might ask Sentry to log basic user data (e.g., email address or username), device identifiers, IP addresses, event type, and related source code. In such cases, we act as a data processor, in accordance with your instructions.

Please note that use of Testflight will also log some device information, especially when giving feedback and sending crash reports.

Where is the data stored?

The Sentry backend is self-hosted on my own infrastructure. No-one but me has access to the servers, databases, application and data logs, least of all any Sentry staff. The infrastructure is hosted in the European Union.

For convenience's sake, I will add this information to the README and hopefully the app at some point in the future. I hope this is all clear for now, and I will close this issue once all the above points are implemented.
