 - The SDK now also uses `.sentry-native` as a subdirectory for native support on desktop platforms. It now also falls back to `Application.persistentDataPath` instead of the current working directory. Note: `crashedLastRun` may report `false` for the first time after upgrading. ([#2547](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-unity/pull/2547))
 - The currently experimental Metrics are now opt-in by default ([#2546](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-unity/pull/2546))
+- When targeting Android, the SDK now syncs `AppStartTime` and `AppBuildType` to the native layer ([#2557](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-unity/pull/2557))
 - When targeting Switch, the SDK will no longer cause the build to fail when native libraries are missing but log a warning instead ([#2541](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-unity/pull/2541))
 - The SDK no longer wrongly disables the org slug field based on assumed the auth-tolken type ([#2537](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-unity/pull/2537))
