Description
As the title asks, is there a better way for us to build the app, or use the Crashlytics plugin, so that we can get a more readable and understandable stack trace?
We build the release like this
ns prepare ios --release --clean --env.production --env.aot --env.uglify
Then perform the archive and upload to AppStore via Xcode.
ns build android --release --clean --env.production --env.aot --env.uglify
Then upload apk to Google Play
I assume most of my issues are connected to the code being minified/uglified, but this is also the recommended way for performance, right?
ns info
β Getting NativeScript components versions information...
β Component nativescript has 8.2.3 version and is up to date.
β Component @nativescript/core has 8.2.5 version and is up to date.
β Update available for component @nativescript/ios. Your current version is 8.2.3 and the latest available version is 8.3.0.
β Update available for component @nativescript/android. Your current version is 8.2.3 and the latest available version is 8.2.4.
This is an example of a recent crash containing a stack trace from an app I'm working on. It is fairly simple to see what is causing the crash, but it's not so easy to see from where it's happening. I assume this is because of the minification process.
We can see it happens in a templateSelector
(I guess that method was not minified due to being used in a template?), and that it's the accessing of the templateKey
that fails, probably because the list item is null/undefined for some reason.
Luckily for us we don't have many of those, so we can go through every one, check them, log more error info and add an NPE guard to avoid the crash.
Unfortunately, this is probably one of the most descriptive error messages we've gotten.

This one seems to come from inside NativeScript, which contains native code, so I guess this is fine to read for you guys :)
