uploadNativeSymbols and autoUploadNativeSymbols options behaviour

[codelimit]

Problem Statement

As I understood those options works as following:
uploadNativeSymbols option adds and configure a gradle task to upload symbols with --no-upload arg.
autoUploadNativeSymbols works as a switch for --no-upload, if auto is enabled, so --no-upload omitted.
This is not quite convenient for case when you want conditional upload: upload for production builds and ignore for nightly builds. Now I am using additional gradle parameter and define a function:

fun isUploadEnabled(): Boolean {
    return project.hasProperty("uploadNativeSymbols") && 
           project.property("uploadNativeSymbols").toString().toBoolean()
}

sentry {
    uploadNativeSymbols.set(isUploadEnabled())
}

gradlew assembleAppReleaseArm64 -p uploadNativeSymbols

Solution Brainstorm

I suggest the following behaviour:
uploadNativeSymbols = true creates gradle tasks but not invoke the upload cmd. If I have to, I'll call it manually:

gradlew assembleAppArm64Release
gradlew uploadSentryNativeSymbolsForAppArm64Release

autoUploadNativeSymbols is responsible for automatic execution of uploadSentryNativeSymbols* task as post build step.

Sorry If I missed something.
Best Regards.

hi @codelimit, thanks for the suggestion! I think your suggestion is reasonable, however, it likely implies a breaking behaviour change for the rest of our customers, I'd consider doing this as part of the next major version. I've added it to the v7 milestone.
