Crashes are something we know a thing or two about. We see a lot of reasons why apps crash, but we also see when a lot of popular mobile apps crash at once, that’s something we notice. Crashes across many mobile apps at the same time is not typically a result of an app-specific code update. I mean, there’s a non zero chance that hundreds of developers published broken apps… but these widespread issues are likely a result of two things.
App Nouveau is a Canadian professional services company that builds transportation management system software. As developers of highly-specialized software solutions, App Nouveau needs a robust error monitoring tool to deliver world-class code required by its commercial clients. App Nouveau recently began using Sentry to uplevel a few key areas in the code development lifecycle. Chief Technical Officer Paito Anderson and his team decided to switch to Sentry just a few months ago.
Week after week, developers work tirelessly to publish updates that improve the stability of their mobile applications, so people like me can rely on our phones for work, play, and even occasional childcare. So to all those on a bug fix rotation right now: thank you. Unfortunately, my appreciation isn’t actually a great indicator of a release’s success. Developers are looking to Sentry to provide insights like version adoption, crash-free sessions, crash-free users, etc.
