Since 8.26 it is no longer possible to use a custom NSApplication subclass while initializing Sentry before that class is initialized, because Sentry calls [SentryCrashExceptionApplication sharedApplication] as part of its initialization and thereby registers SentryCrashExceptionApplication as NSApplication instance.
This was caused by #3957. The fix is to e.g. have Sentry call [SentryCrashExceptionApplication class] instead.
Create custom NSApplication subclass inheriting from SentryCrashExceptionApplicationregister it as "Principal class" in Info.plist
Initialize SentrySDK before application class is initialized (e.g. from +initialize)
Expected Result
NSApplication subclass is initialized normally.
Actual Result
SentryCrashExceptionApplication is registered as application instance.
Demo project
The following project illustrates the issue. Notice how [MyApplication init] is never called, even tho MyApplication is registered as principal class.
