Raygun4Apple

Raygun provider for iOS, tvOS & macOS supporting Crash Reporting and Real User Monitoring.

Officially Supports:

  • iOS 12+
  • tvOS 12+
  • macOS 12+

Note: raygun4apple may work with earlier OS versions, however we recommend updating to the versions we build and test for to avoid experiencing any unexpected issues.

Installation

Using the Swift Package Manager

From Xcode

  1. Choose File > Add Package Dependencies…
  2. In the Search field on the top right, enter the Github URL for raygun4apple: https://github.com/MindscapeHQ/raygun4apple.git
  3. Click "Add Package", then choose your project under the "Add to Target" section. Click "Add Package" again.

You're now ready to configure the client.

OR: Manually

If you're not using Xcode to manage your packages, you can instead update your Package.swift file to include raygun4apple as a dependency.

Here is an example of a macOS CLI application which uses raygun4apple as a dependency:

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "macos-cli",
    dependencies: [
        //Note - the version must be atleast 2.0.0 as this is earliest release of this package through SPM.
        .package(url: "https://github.com/MindscapeHQ/raygun4apple.git", from: "2.0.0"),
    ],
    targets: [
        .executableTarget(
            name: "macos-cli",
            dependencies: ["raygun4apple"])
    ]
)

With CocoaPods

To integrate Raygun using CocoaPods, update your Podfile to include:

pod 'raygun4apple'

Once updated, you can run pod install from Terminal.

With GitHub releases

The latest release can be found here. The frameworks are attached to each release as a zipped file. This can be downloaded, unzipped and included in you project directory.

Once included, go to your app's target General settings and add the raygun4apple framework to the Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content section. Ensure that the framework is set to Embed & Sign.

Using Raygun

Swift

To use Raygun, import the package in your Swift file. Here is an example which imports raygun4apple, initializes the provider, and sends a test exception. Be sure to replace YOUR_API_KEY_HERE with your API key from your Application Settings screen in Raygun.

import raygun4apple

let raygunClient = RaygunClient.sharedInstance(apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE")
raygunClient.enableCrashReporting()
raygunClient.send(exception: NSException.init(name: .genericException, reason: "This is an exception from Raygun4Apple!"))

NB: If you recieve a A server with the specified hostname could not be found error, you may need to enable outbound connections for your app. Choose your project target in the left-hand navigator, then choose the "Signing & Capabilities" tab, and check the Outgoing Connections (Client) in the "App Sandbox" section.

Swift UI

You might like to check our our Swift UI example app

You likely want to start Raygun in your AppDelegate. By default newer Swift UI apps do not come with an AppDelegate, so you can follow these instructions to add one to your project (for macOS you need to use NSApplication instead)

Once you've done that, your AppDelegate.swift should look something like this:

import Foundation
import UIKit
import raygun4apple


class AppDelegate: NSObject, UIApplicationDelegate {
    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil) -> Bool {

      let raygunClient = RaygunClient.sharedInstance(apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE")
      raygunClient.enableCrashReporting()

      return true
    }
}

You are now tracking crashes across your application, and can report manually using the RaygunClient.sharedInstance(), for example:

RaygunClient.sharedInstance().send(exception: NSException.init(name: .genericException, reason: "This is an exception from Raygun4Apple!"))

Identifying customers

By default, each user will be identified as an anonymous user/customers. However you can set more detailed customer information with the following snippet.

RaygunClient.sharedInstance().userInformation = RaygunUserInformation.init(
    identifier: "123",
    email:      "[email protected]",
    fullName:   "Ronald Raygun",
    firstName:  "Ronald",
    anonymous:  false,
    uuid:       UUID().uuidString
)

(More initializers are provided on RaygunUserInformation should you want to omit some parts of this information)

Now your crashes will be tracked as affecting this user in Raygun Crash Reporting:

Objective-C

In your AppDelegate class file, import the header for your target platform.

#import <raygun4apple/raygun4apple_iOS.h>

Initialize the Raygun client by adding the following snippet to your AppDelegate application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method:

[RaygunClient sharedInstanceWithApiKey:@"_INSERT_API_KEY_"];
[RaygunClient.sharedInstance enableCrashReporting];
[RaygunClient.sharedInstance enableRealUserMonitoring];
[RaygunClient.sharedInstance enableNetworkPerformanceMonitoring]; // Optional

Sending a test error event

To ensure that the Raygun client is correctly configured, try sending a test crash report with the following snippet.

[RaygunClient.sharedInstance sendException:@"Raygun has been successfully integrated!"
                                withReason:@"A test crash report from Raygun"
                                  withTags:@[@"Test"]
                            withCustomData:@{@"TestMessage":@"Hello World!"}];

Set up Customers

By default, each user will be identified as an anonymous user/customers. However you can set more detailed customer information with the following snippet.

RaygunUserInformation *userInfo = nil;
userInfo = [[RaygunUserInformation alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"[email protected]"
                                                   withEmail:@"[email protected]"
                                                withFullName:@"Ronald Raygun"
                                               withFirstName:@"Ronald"];
RaygunClient.sharedInstance.userInformation = userInfo;
