Configuration

Launching with options

warning

iOS/iPadOS: Make sure you launch your app with Bugsee on a real device. Underlying Bugsee iOS SDK does not work in simulator as it heavily depends on the hardware.

Bugsee behavior is very customizable, if default configuration is not satisfying your needs you can launch the SDK with additional parameters. Use instance of IOSLaunchOptions or AndroidLaunchOptions for corresponding platform to change Bugsee behavior.

iOS

using BugseePlugin;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace YourNameSpace
{
  [Register("AppDelegate")]
  public partial class AppDelegate : UIApplicationDelegate
  {
    public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication application, NSDictionary launchOptions)
    {
      var bugseeOptions = new IOSLaunchOptions();

      bugseeOptions.ShakeToReport = true;
      bugseeOptions.ReportPrioritySelector = true;
      bugseeOptions.DefaultBugPriority = BugseeSeverityLevel.Critical;

      Bugsee.Launch("<your_app_token>", bugseeOptions);
      return base.FinishedLaunching(application, launchOptions);
    }
  }
}

Android

using BugseePlugin;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace YourNameSpace
{
  public class MyApplication : Application
  {   
    protected override void OnCreate ()
    {
      base.OnCreate();

      var bugseeOptions = new AndroidLaunchOptions();

      bugseeOptions.ShakeToTrigger = true;
      bugseeOptions.NotificationBarTrigger = false;

      Bugsee.Launch(this, "<your token>", bugseeOptions);
    }
  }
}

Available Options

For iOS

Key	Default	Notes
CaptureLogs	true	Automatically capture all console logs
CrashReport	true	Catch and report application crashes (*)
DefaultBugPriority	High	Default priority for bugs
DefaultCrashPriority	Blocker	Default priority for crashes
KillDetection	false	Detect abnormal termination (experimental, read more)
MaxRecordingTime	60	Maximum recording duration
MonitorNetwork	true	Capture network traffic
ReportPrioritySelector	false	Allow user to modify priority when reporting manual
ScreenshotToReport	true	Screenshot key to trigger report
ShakeToReport	false	Shake gesture to trigger report
Style	Default	Enumeration of Default, Dark and BasedOnStatusBar
VideoEnabled	true	Enable video recording
FrameRate	High	Specifies how often frames are captured
ScreenshotEnabled	true	Attach screenshot to a report
WifiOnlyUpload	false	Upload reports only when a device is connected to a WiFi network
MaxDataSize	50	Bugsee will avoid using more disk space than specified (in MB). If total Bugsee data size exceeds specified value, oldest recordings (even not sent) will be removed. Value should not be smaller than 10
CaptureDeviceAndNetworkNames	true	Capture device name, wifi SSID and mobile carrier name.

warning

• iOS allows only one crash detector to be active at a time, if you insist on using an alternative solution for handling crashes, you might want to use this option and disable Bugsee from taking over.

For Android

Key	Default	Notes
CaptureLogs	true	Automatically capture all console logs
CrashReport	true	Catch and report application crashes
DefaultBugPriority	High	Default priority for bugs
DefaultCrashPriority	Blocker	Default priority for crashes
ExtendedVideoMode	false	Enables or disables the use of MediaProjection API (**)
FrameRate	High	Specifies how often frames are captured
LogLevel	Verbose	Minimal log level of Logcat messages, which will be attached to report
MaxDataSize	50	Maximum disk space consumed by Bugsee
MaxRecordingTime	60	Maximum recording duration
MonitorNetwork	true	Capture network traffic
NotificationBarTrigger	true	Trigger report from notification bar
ReportPrioritySelector	false	Allow user to modify priority when reporting manual
ScreenshotEnabled	true	Attach screenshot to a report
ServiceMode	false	Used, when Bugsee is launched from service. No video and no visual controls available. Recording continues even in background.
ShakeToTrigger	false	Shake gesture to trigger report
VideoEnabled	true	Enable video recording
WifiOnlyUpload	false	Upload reports only when a device is connected to a WiFi network
CaptureDeviceAndNetworkNames	true	Capture device name, wifi SSID and mobile carrier name.

warning

** If ExtendedVideoMode is set to true, MediaProjection API is used, while recording video. In this case all types of views are recorded, but user is asked to allow video recording. If false (experimental), view drawing cache is used to capture the screen. In this case user is not asked to allow video recording, but frame rate is lower and some special views like status bar, soft keyboard and views, which contain Surface (MapView, VideoView, GlSurfaceView, etc.) are not recorded. Option has no effect, if VideoEnabled option is set to false.

Stop, Relaunch

It is also possible to relaunch Bugsee with other options later

iOS

// Relaunch with other options.
var options = new IOSLaunchOptions();

// Set other launch options
//...

Bugsee.Relaunch(options);

Android

// Relaunch with other options.
var options = new AndroidLaunchOptions();

// Set other launch options
//...

Bugsee.Relaunch(options);

or stop the events and video recording.

// Stop recording completely
Bugsee.Stop()

Handling UnobservedTaskExceptions

Starting with version 4.5 of .NET Framework, exceptions thrown within the Tasks are not causing app to crash any more. Instead, they are rerouted to UnobservedTaskExceptions event handlers. By default, we do not capture them to reduce noise. If, however, you need them to be captured, enable that feature by setting the following option (same for all the platforms):

BugseePlugin.Bugsee.HandleTaskExceptions = true;

NOTE: Starting from Bugsee.Xamarin 1.4.6 this option is enabled by default.
