iOS equivalent of FirebaseCrash.report(Exception e)

[Brad McDermott]

From the docs it seems like only the custom logging is available on iOS, but not the ability to report caught exceptions as crashes without actually crashing the app.

https://firebase.google.com/docs/crash/ios

Is there some way of doing this currently on ios, or does anyone know if it will make its way to the iOS Firebase SDK at some point?

Hi Brad,

After chatting this over with some of our Crash Reporting gurus, I think that you've got the gist.

It looks like reporting caught exceptions is Android only at the moment due to some complexities in how iOS handles true native crashes. 

I'll make sure there's a feature request on the list for this. It wouldn't hurt to put in your vote by submitting a feature request (and linking to this thread) as well.

Brad, is your primary need to report NSExceptions or NSErrors?

Hello,

I know this is an older post by now, but I'd also be very interested in this feature and to answer your question at least for me, Keith, I would be more interested in reporting an NSError or similar object. NSExceptions would work, too, obviously, as I am guessing this is the more complicated thing to integrate into Firebase in the way it works on Android.

I think the general problem is that on iOS there is no real way to trigger sending the custom log messages to Firebase without an actual crash happening, right? 

(I'll submit a feature request for what it's worth, too)

Cheers,

- Gero
