proguard - What symbolicated crash reporting means in android -


i started using crittercism crash reporting tool android app .

their web shows content beyond tiny head. like

an alert message

"to symbolicated crash reports, upload proguard mapping files matching app's version in app settings page"

afaik both symbolicated , proguard mapping used ios crash debugging , irrelevant android. gut feeling website wrongly provides these things in android app well.

or may there android well, not aware of . please educate me if case.

here's brief summary of proguard (from proguard site):

proguard free java class file shrinker, optimizer, obfuscator, , preverifier. detects , removes unused classes, fields, methods, , attributes. optimizes bytecode , removes unused instructions. renames remaining classes, fields, , methods using short meaningless names. finally, preverifies processed code java 6 or higher, or java micro edition.

the main thing note, concerns crittercism, proguard can used obfuscate code. if you've obfuscated code using proguard, stack traces crash reports obfuscated. in order deobfuscate (ie. crittercism calling symbolicate), crittercism allows upload proguard mapping.txt file. file generated proguard @ build time , has list of functions , obfuscated name.

bottom line: once you've uploaded proguard mapping.txt crittercism, crittercism display crash reports in deobfuscated form. if don't use proguard, needn't worry uploading proguard mapping.
