## Missing or Unhelpful Stack Traces in AOT Compiled Apps

If you're compiling your application AOT (ahead of time), you may see missing or unhelpful stack traces in Sentry. This can happen because the default stack trace extraction used by the SDK (`SentryStackTraceFactory`) relies on runtime metadata that may not be available in the same way in AOT compiled applications.

One possible workaround is to use the `StringStackTraceFactory` instead of Sentry's default stack trace factory. The `StringStackTraceFactory` parses stack trace information from the string representations of stack traces and aims to produce at least a minimal set of frames when the default stack trace factory can't.

To enable it, configure Sentry as follows:

```csharp
SentrySdk.Init(options => {
// ...All the usual setup
options.UseStackTraceFactory(new StringStackTraceFactory(options));
});
```

This factory is more limited and experimental than the default one. Only enable it if you're not getting useful stack traces with the default configuration.

## Proxy Server
