sentry-swift

Swift client for Sentry. This client was writen in Swift but works with both Swift and Objective-C projects.

// Create client and start crash handler
SentryClient.shared = SentryClient(dsnString: "your-dsn")
SentryClient.shared?.startCrashHandler()

// Set 
SentryClient.shared?.user = User(id: "3",
	email: "[email protected]",
	username: "some_user",
	extra: ["is_admin": false]
)

Installation

Embedded frameworks require a minimum deployment target of iOS 8 or OS X Mavericks (10.9).

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

CocoaPods 0.39.0+ is required to build SentrySwift.

To integrate SentrySwift into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

pod 'SentrySwift'

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

To integrate SentrySwift into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

github "getsentry/sentry-swift"

Run carthage update to build the framework and drag the built SentrySwift.framework and KSCrash.framework into your Xcode project.

Usage

Configuration

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {

	// Create a Sentry client and start crash handler
	SentryClient.shared = SentryClient(dsnString: "https://username:[email protected]/12345")	
	SentryClient.shared?.startCrashHandler()
	
	return true
}

If you do not want to send events in a debug build, you can wrap the above code in something like...

// Create a Sentry client and start crash handler when not in debug
if !DEBUG {
	SentryClient.shared = SentryClient(dsnString: "https://username:[email protected]/12345")	
	SentryClient.shared?.startCrashHandler()
}

Client information

A user, tags, and extra information can be stored on a SentryClient. This information will get sent with every message/exception in which that SentryClient sends up the Sentry. They can be used like...

SentryClient.shared?.user = User(id: "3",
	email: "[email protected]",
	username: "Example",
	extra: ["is_admin": false]
)

SentryClient.shared?.tags = [
	"environment": "production"
]

SentryClient.shared?.extra = [
	"a_thing": 3,
	"some_things": ["green", "red"],
	"foobar": ["foo": "bar"]
]

All of the above (user, tags, and extra) can all be set at anytime and can also be set to nil to clear.

Sending Messages

Sending a basic message (no stacktrace) can be done with captureMessage.

SentryClient.shared?.captureMessage("Hehehe, this is totes not useful", level: .Debug)

If more detailed information is required, Event has a large constructor that allows for passing in of all the information or a build function can be called to build the Event object like below.

let event = Event.build("Another example") {
	$0.level = .Debug
	$0.tags = ["status": "test"]
	$0.extra = [
		"name": "Donatello",
		"favorite_power_ranger": "green/white"
	]
}
SentryClient.shared?.captureEvent(event)

dSYM Upload Instructions

A dSYM upload is required for Sentry to symoblicate your crash logs for viewing. The symoblication process unscrambles Apple's crash logs to reveal the function, variables, file names, and line numbers of the crash. The dSYM file can be uploaded through the sentry-cli tool or through a Fastlane) action.

With Bitcode

If Bitcode is enabled in your project, you will have to upload the dSYM to Sentry after it has finished processing in the iTunesConnect. The dSYM can be downloaded in three ways...

Use Fastlane

Use the Fastlane's action, download_dsyms, to download the dSYMs from iTunesConnect and upload to Sentry. The dSYM won't be generated unitl after the app is done processing on iTunesConnect so this should be run in its own lane.

lane :upload_symbols do
  download_dsyms
  upload_symbols_to_sentry(
    api_key: '...',
    org_slug: '...',
    project_slug: '...',
  )
end

Use 'sentry-cli`

There are two ways to download the dSYM from iTunesConnect. After you do one of the two following ways, you can upload the dSYM using sentry-cli

1. Open Xcode Oraganizer, go to your app, and click "Download dSYMs..."
2. Login to iTunes Connect, go to your app, go to "Activity, click the build number to go into the detail page, and click "Download dSYM"

sentry-cli --api-key YOUR_API_KEY upload-dsym --org YOUR_ORG_SLUG --project YOUR_PROJECT_SLUG PATH_TO_DSYM"

Without Bitcode

Use Fastlane

lane :build do
  gym
  upload_symbols_to_sentry(
    api_key: '...',
    org_slug: '...',
    project_slug: '...',
  )
end

Run Script with sentry-cli

Your project's dSYM can be upload during the build phase as a "Run Script". By default, an Xcode project will only have DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT set to DWARF with dSYM File in Release so make sure everything is set in your build settings properly.

1. You will need to copy the below into a new Run Script and set your API_KEY, ORG_SLUG, and PROJECT_SLUG
2. Download and install sentry-cli

• The best place to put this is in the /usr/local/bin/ directory

Shell: /usr/bin/ruby

API_KEY = "your-api-key"
ORG_SLUG = "your-org-slug"
PROJECT_SLUG = "your-project-slug"

Dir["#{ENV["DWARF_DSYM_FOLDER_PATH"]}/*.dSYM"].each do |dsym|
cmd = "sentry-cli --api-key #{API_KEY} upload-dsym --org #{ORG_SLUG} --project #{PROJECT_SLUG} #{dsym}"
Process.detach(fork {system cmd })
end

Manually with sentry-cli

Your dSYM file can be upload manually by you (or some automated process) with the sentry-cli tool. You will need to know the following information:

• API Key
• Organization slug
• Project slug
• Path to the build's dSYM

1. Download and install sentry-cli

• The best place to put this is in the /usr/local/bin/ directory

sentry-cli --api-key YOUR_API_KEY upload-dsym --org YOUR_ORG_SLUG --project YOUR_PROJECT_SLUG PATH_TO_DSYM"
