 - Add SentryObjC User Feedback presentation APIs and a feedback form factory returning `UIViewController` instances. (#8027)
 
+### Fixes
+
+- Show feedback form from shake or screenshot without widget (#8050)
+
 ### Deprecations
 
 - Deprecate the managed User Feedback custom button. It will be removed in v10. Present the feedback form from your own UI with `SentrySDK.feedback.show()`, `SentrySDK.FeedbackForm`, or `.sentryFeedback(isPresented:)` instead. (#8052)

The managed widget is deprecated; prefer presenting the feedback form from your own UI using SentrySDK.feedback.show(), SentrySDK.FeedbackForm, or sentryFeedback(isPresented:).
