Crashlytics Takes Center Stage at AnDevCon

As we wrap up the Veteran’s day parades and tuck away our flags, Android developers around the world have been eagerly anticipating this week. 6 months after launching Crashlytics for Android, we're making a big splash at one of the the most talked about conferences in the Android developer community: AnDevCon.

Supporting developers means more than just merely being a conference attendee, which is why we've decided to immerse ourselves fully by sharing our deep knowledge of Android development. Not only is our co-founder Jeff Seibert keynoting at the event, but joining him we have not one but TWO of our Android engineers sharing their hand-crafted strategies and development secrets!

Keynote: Developing at Twitter Scale

After keynoting at the last AnDevCon in May, Jeff is taking center stage again addressing the audience on how Twitter builds its own apps, the biggest challenges in app development today, and how we solved them at scale.

Key takeaways attendees can look forward to:

  • How to structure your development process for maximum efficiency
  • Automated testing and continuous integration
  • Tips and tricks for optimizing and debugging your Android apps

When: Thursday, 10am PST

The War on Errors

Ever wanted to know why apps really crash? Our very own Android engineer Marc Richards is going to divulge all the nitty gritty details that many are scared to talk about!

Marc has been spearheading Crashlytics for Android since our humble beginnings. In his class "Crashes: The War on Errors", he will take a deep dive into why Android apps crash, how crashes affect your users, and what your best solutions are. Besides sharing technical details on crash prevention, he will explain the psychology of crashes and offer an economic framework for determining your highest-priority bugs.

When: Wednesday, 10am PST

Fireside Chat with Twitter University

Even with a keynote and a workshop, we knew there had to be another way for us to connect with the developers at this conference. So we took it one step further. Marc and Lien Mamitsuka, another one of our Android Engineers instrumental to the success of Twitter’s Android app, will join an informal Q&A session at 7:30pm PST.

Hosted by Twitter University's Marko and Sasa Gargenta, the session will feature the best strategies to develop apps quickly, grow your mobile team, and improve your app’s stability. This will be a rare opportunity for Android developers to learn how Twitter and Crashlytics work under the hood and get all the answers to their technical questions!

Will you be at AnDevCon? Jeff, Marc and Lien would love to meet you, so keep an eye out for us. Don't be afraid, we don't bite ;)

If you didn’t make it to AnDevCon this time, no worries! Follow us @Crashlytics or hashtag #AnDevCon to stay up-to-date on our talks.

Crashlytics Enterprise Is Now Free

Posted by Wayne Chang on

Today we're excited to announce that we’re folding the features of Crashlytics Enterprise into Crashlytics and they will be available to all – for free. With Crashlytics Enterprise, there are no usage costs, fees, or limits when it comes to your app’s performance monitoring. The features and usage we used to charge for based on limits are now unlimited across the board. This means that you no longer need to worry about numbers like monthly active users, disk space or API limits. And since Crashlytics Enterprise has no limits, you can add as many apps and developer seats as your team needs.

Major update: Crashlytics for iOS 2.0

Posted by Jeff Seibert on

At Crashlytics, one of our founding principals has been an extreme (some would say, absurd) attention to detail. Crash detection and reporting, particularly on iOS, is a complex and esoteric problem to solve, with arcane restrictions that throw modern programming practices out the window. Need to allocate memory at crash-time? Revisit your approach. Thinking of calling an Objective-C method? Dream on.

This focus has not gone unnoticed: many of the world's best mobile engineering teams - that build many of the most-well-known apps - now trust our award-winning Crashlytics for iOS solution to deliver accurate, detailed, crash reports from hundreds of millions of devices around the globe.

But we're not satisfied.

Over the past 6 months, we've embarked on a ground-up rewrite of our iOS SDK to take things to a whole new level and, after 2 months of intense testing, I'm extremely pleased to publicly announce the release of Crashlytics for iOS v2.

Announcing Crashlytics Integrations

Posted by Wayne Chang on

We're thrilled to announce Crashlytics Integrations -- seamlessly send your Crashlytics issues to your favorite issue tracker!

Crashlytics Intelligence + Workflow you already use = Productivity Win

With Crashlytics Integrations, you get all of the power of our industry-leading crash analysis platform seamlessly integrated into the issue tracking tools you already have, enabling a single-glance view at your outstanding issues. When it's time to debug, simply jump directly from your issue tracker to the Crashlytics dashboard to get a deep dive into the data.

You're in control

We care about signal-to-noise ratio -- we made sure to build an easy to use control panel so that you're in full control over when you receive issue updates. By default, we only send along an issue when it reaches Impact Level 2 or higher. However, you can change this to be as verbose as you want.

Launch Integrations

We're launching Integrations with five of the most-requested offerings. They are:

  • JIRA 5
  • Pivotal Tracker
  • Redmine
  • PagerDuty
  • Web Hooks

You may be familiar with the first four. The fifth, Web Hooks, is a unique integration that you can use to connect Crashlytics with whatever kind of system you want. We'll simply POST information to a URL of your choosing, in JSON format. This is great for triggering custom events inside your own development infrastructure or behind your firewall!

Bring-Your-Own

Your options don't stop there. Faced with the endless array of third-party bug trackers and project management tools available today, it wouldn't make sense to artificially limit what you can use!

We're excited to announce that, starting today, we have open-sourced our Integrations implementation so that you can build your own experience and ensure Crashlytics fits seamlessly into your development workflow, whatever it may be. Head on over to GitHub and fork crashlytics-services to get started. We're looking forward to rolling out the best contributions for everyone to benefit from!

Feedback Welcome

Our goal is to make Crashlytics Integrations as useful as possible for you and leverage the incredible infrastructure we've built along with the tools you use everyday to make finding and fixing issues in your apps painless.

We're just getting started, and we'd love to hear feedback on how we can make this even better for you. Shoot us an email through Support -- as you know, we read each and every email that comes through.

Join the Team

Interested in diving-deep into these and other workflow-enhancing challenges?  We’re hiring!  Give us a shout at [email protected]. You can stay up to date with all our progress on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+.
