Crash Monitoring

Overview​

App stability is one of the biggest challenges for app developers. While tools like Crashlytics help monitor app-level failures, the Teads SDK includes its own crash monitoring system to ensure the highest quality of our advertising components.

Why Teads Crash Monitoring?​

  • SDK-Specific Monitoring: Catches crashes that originate from the Teads SDK, not your app
  • Non-Intrusive: Works alongside third-party crash handlers like Crashlytics
  • Proactive Resolution: Allows Teads to quickly identify and fix issues
  • Improved Stability: Helps maintain optimal ad performance
info

Important: The Teads SDK integrates a crash handling solution that:

  • Catches crashes that come from our SDK, not from your app
  • Does not disturb third-party crash handlers such as Crashlytics
  • Operates independently of your existing crash monitoring setup

How It Works​

The Teads crash monitoring system:

  1. Automatic Detection: Monitors for crashes specifically related to Teads SDK components
  2. Data Collection: Gathers relevant crash data without exposing sensitive app information
  3. Proactive Action: Enables Teads to quickly identify and resolve issues
  4. Non-Interference: Works alongside your existing crash monitoring tools

Prerequisites​

To ensure the crash handler is ready to catch crashes, you need to initialize the Teads handler in AppDelegate:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    Teads.configure()
    // ...
}

Configuration​

Default Behavior​

Crash monitoring is enabled by default in the Teads SDK. No additional configuration is required.

Disable Crash Monitoring​

You can disable crash monitoring using TeadsSDK.isCrashMonitoringEnabled:

// Disable crash monitoring
TeadsSDK.isCrashMonitoringEnabled = false
