Add Unreal Engine platform

[marandaneto]

We support the Unreal engine via the Native platform, see https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/native/guides/ue4/

It's missing which platforms are supported though, probably Win and Linux only? @jan-auer

It's also possible to develop mobile games with Unreal but it's unclear if we whether support it or not, this raised this issue: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java/issues/1210

Ideally, we'd have its own Unreal platform under the docs that links to the desired platform, for example, redirecting Win/Linux to the Native platform, but if Android or iOS, link to the Android or iOS platform, so people could add them directly as we don't support as a 1st class citizen SDK like Flutter for example (Add one SDK and works for all platforms), yet.

The crashreporter works on Windows, Linux and macOS.

We could lift Unreal Engine to be a top level platform (like Unity) with a fallback to native (like Android->Java). Platform icon is already: https://github.com/getsentry/platformicons/blob/7a81291d4216172066c794beb8448a638658e577/svg_80x80/unreal.svg But missing the mapping: https://github.com/getsentry/platformicons/pull/33/files

Then we can also add docs for Android and iOS under Unreal Engine (per getsentry/sentry-java#1210)

wrong #ID?

Fixed. Tks

I merged this: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-docs/pull/3005 but the platform now under native is called ue4.

Ideally when moving it to top-level, and naming the platform, call it unreal.

[bruno-garcia]

The key to be: unrealengine: https://github.com/getsentry/platformicons/pull/34

Didn't add a - because it's what's used to nest platforms.

[jan-auer]

Moving Unreal Engine to a top-level platform aligns with our platform delineation guides. As for what we call it, I'm uncertain. unreal is shorter for the URL and slub, but in the UI we should probably spell out the full "Unreal Engine".

We support all three platforms: Windows, Linux, and macOS. The latter is slightly different internally as it sends AppleCrashReports, but regardless we do offer the same level of support on all platforms. We have never tested mobile platforms.

[bruno-garcia]

I suggest we call it unreal-engine. We called unreal in the UE4 endpoint because it was shorter but I believe for a URL it'll be better to be more descriptive.

Also UE5 was announced so we don't want to use ue4 as version info will be sub pages.

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.

But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you label it Status: Accepted, I will leave it alone ... forever!

Changing my mind here and agree with @jma that unreal is best

[stephanie-anderson]

Seems like this is obsolete, unreal docs exist now: https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/unreal/

The docs also mention the required information regarding supported operating systems ✌️
