Crashlytics now serves over 1M apps (opens in new tab)

Have you guys tried out Crittercism? (Full disclosure - I'm Rob, one of the founders and CTO) - We have an API (http://docs.crittercism.com/api/api.html), alerting, PagerDuty integration, automatic tracking of events like loss of internet connectivity, app background/foreground, etc.

They also need to add proper alerting. Telling me that my app with 1m users has reached "Impact Level 2" for a particular bug because it's affected 50 people is basically useless.

Wayne here. I hear your loud and clear. Working on it.. :-)

This may not be relevant anymore, but last year I made a simple tool to get stats out: https://github.com/MattNewberry/crashstats

>> "There's no API so you can't integrate with any of your other tools."

There's no API but they do offer some integrations with things like Asana, BitBucket, Slack etc. through the settings page.

It's not "invite only". It's just a trick to seem exclusive. They have an automated email go out a few minutes after you request an invite that gives you instructions on how to sign up that seems like it's coming from an actual person (unless I'm mistaken, in which case whoever is managing these invites is superhuman).

If you wait for the animation to load, you'll see that it's free (even for enterprise features). They are owned by twitter (in case you're wondering how it could be free).

Crashlytics is free :-)

Many apps have come and gone as well. I know my enterprise app from 2011 is no longer in the app store after they failed to maintain it, but is likely still active in Crashlytics.

Excellent product by the way. Very polished even from early beta.

There are probably many unpublished (prototype, development version) apps.

Yeah, 1M sounds super fishy. Is this like when websites publishes total number of accounts, but not DAU?

> our systems have now seen more than 1 million apps integrated with Crashlytics!

If you parse this, "have now seen" != "today has active"

Yes, I can heartily recommend Crashlytics/Fabric.io. I used it for my just-released music game app (http://www.reddit.com/r/FlamingNotes) on iOS and Android. Slick integration.

Crashlytics (or Fabric - I wish they'd settle on a name) is now and has always been better than TestFlight imo. Distributing new builds is as simple as archiving (iOS) and clicking a button in your menu bar.

Yes - no brainer. :-)

Thanks ksar! Wait until you see what we've been working on ;-)

According to their privacy policy, Crashlytics aggregates the data that's being collected in every app.

"Crashlytics does aggregate information across Developers in a non-personally identifiable way. Such aggregate and anonymous information is used by Crashlytics to (i) improve the Services, (ii) create analysis of trends or behaviors and (iii) other similar uses, but always in an aggregate and anonymous way."

Knowing what apps are trending probably helps Twitter to make decisions on what to focus on next (like with the Meerkat / Periscope apps, and their acquisition of Periscope). That data should probably be enough for Twitter to keep it free for now.
