Regarding what methods to use instead: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/07/page-lifecycle-api and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/sendBeacon (see Avoid unload and beforeunload). This appears to indicate that our sendOnClose function is using obsolete methods in modern browsers that have been optimized for cross-platform (desktop and mobile). Both mozilla and chrome advocate for using visibilitychange events and detecting when the page's visible state is hidden. This method seems to capture the intent of sendOnClose, which is to dump logs when users are ending their session with a page/app. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
