They talk about how "current mainstream ads technology has become a pseudo-surveillance system", but I feel the same mistrust for crash reporter SDKs on iOS and Android. Unless it's an open source library, I'm very careful to include it in projects.
- sgtfrankieboy 6y agoIn a lot of cases crash report SDKs are open source? Sentry: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-java Bugsnag: https://github.com/bugsnag/bugsnag-android https://github.com/bugsnag/bugsnag-android Exceptionless: https://github.com/exceptionless/opentelemetry-dotnet https://github.com/exceptionless/opentelemetry-dotnet Rollbar: https://github.com/rollbar/rollbar-apple https://github.com/rollbar/rollbar-apple Raygun: https://github.com/MindscapeHQ/raygun4android https://github.com/MindscapeHQ/raygun4android To just name a few.
- yarcob 6y agoIt's why we rolled our own crash reporting solution (based on PLCrashReporter). We don't want opaque 3rd party code in our apps. There's a reason why those frameworks and services are "free", and it's not because they are operated by a non-profit organisation.
- jefftk 6y agoCrash reporting services are generally not free; once you pass a pretty low level of usage you pay to keep using them. Ex: https://sentry.io/pricing/ https://sentry.io/pricing/ https://rollbar.com/pricing/ https://rollbar.com/pricing/
- yarcob 6y agoI thought that there were a couple of free options for iOS/macOS, but to be honest I haven't looked into it for a couple of years, our in house solution is good enough.
