Collect your first crash report

Set up the crash reporter​

The Embrace SDK automatically captures JVM crash reports. You can test this out with the following code. This code will crash your app and should not go in production:

throw RuntimeException("This is a crash")

Relaunch the app and refresh the Embrace dashboard: you should see the uploaded crash. Depending on network latency and other variables, a crash can occasionally take a few minutes to show up.

NDK crash capture​

The Embrace SDK does not automatically capture NDK crash reports. To enable NDK crash reports add the ndk_enabled setting to your app/src/main/embrace-config.json file:

{
  "ndk_enabled": true
}

Symbolicate stack traces​

If you have obfuscated your application with ProGuard, DexGuard, or R8, the captured crashes will contain obfuscated method names. The Embrace Gradle plugin will automatically upload mapping files at build time to get you human-readable stacktraces from production.
