I don't see how it works as a Trojan horse. I don't think it plays - all the apps using Crashlytics will switch to a different service rather than have their data flow to Twitter. No way Expedia wants their data flowing to Twitter (or anyone else).
Looks to me like a talent acquisition. While Crashlytics was likely popular, I think they likely had limited revenue opportunities given Hockey App and Crittercism.
Really - it's a race to the bottom on these crash services. Switching costs would seem to be pretty low - so my guess is that the VCs saw a quick out.
Congrats to the team for the acquisition.
- saddino 14y agoI agree. We were an early Crashlytics adopter that also used TestFlight for Ad Hoc testing. When TestFlight launched TestFlight Live and introduced its own crash logging service, we saw no need to keep both in the app and shut off Crashlytics. Anecdotal of course, but I think the theory here has merit: crash logging is a feature, not a business model, and the Crashlytics team made a good move here.
