What is Firebase Crashlytics?
Firebase Crashlytics is a lightweight, real-time crash reporting tool for mobile apps. An analysis engine examines stack traces, exception messages, and error codes, groups related crashes into issues, and distinguishes different root causes within an issue through variant tracking. This helps development teams quickly see which problems need to be fixed most urgently.
Core Features
- Real-time crash reporting for iOS, Android, Flutter, and Unity
- Intelligent grouping of similar crashes, including variant tracking
- Crash Insights with troubleshooting tips for known stability issues
- Stack traces with symbolication, including for native crashes (Android NDK)
- Non-fatal error tracking and custom logs
- Integration with Firebase Analytics (app_exception events) and export to BigQuery and Cloud Logging
- Alerts and notifications, including to Slack, Jira, or PagerDuty
Typical Use Cases
Release Monitoring: After an app update, teams monitor Crashlytics to quickly identify new crash causes and prioritize hotfixes.
Stability Tracking: The crash-free users value shows the percentage of users without crashes. Teams set goals for app stability and track progress across releases.
Debugging: Stack traces with context such as device, OS version, and custom keys help with quick reproduction and bug fixes.
