Event Tracking for Mobile Applications

Mobile-Specific Challenges

Mobile event tracking presents unique challenges including network connectivity, device diversity, and platform-specific error types.

iOS Event Tracking

// Swift event tracking
NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler { exception in
    // Send crash report to tracking service
    ErrorTracker.shared.trackCrash(exception)
}

iOS applications require specific error handling for Objective-C and Swift events:

Android Event Tracking

// Java event tracking
Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler((thread, exception) -> {
    // Send crash report to tracking service
    ErrorTracker.trackCrash(exception);
});

Android applications need to handle Java/Kotlin exceptions and native crashes:

Cross-Platform Considerations

For React Native, Flutter, or Xamarin applications, consider platform-specific error handling:

Mobile-Specific Data

Collect mobile-specific context data:

Mobile Context Data

• Device model and OS version
• App version and build number
• Network type and connectivity status
• Battery level and charging status
• Memory and storage usage
• Location data (if permitted)

Offline Error Handling

Implement offline error storage and sync when connectivity is restored.
