Test your Crashlytics implementation


Force a crash to test your implementation

  1. Find an existing GameObject, then add to it the following script. This script will cause a test crash a few seconds after you run your app.

    using System;
using UnityEngine;

public class CrashlyticsTester : MonoBehaviour {

    int updatesBeforeException;

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start () {
      updatesBeforeException = 0;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        // Call the exception-throwing method here so that it's run
        // every frame update
        throwExceptionEvery60Updates();
    }

    // A method that tests your Crashlytics implementation by throwing an
    // exception every 60 frame updates. You should see reports in the
    // Firebase console a few minutes after running your app with this method.
    void throwExceptionEvery60Updates()
    {
        if (updatesBeforeException > 0)
        {
            updatesBeforeException--;
        }
        else
        {
            // Set the counter to 60 updates
            updatesBeforeException = 60;

            // Throw an exception to test your Crashlytics implementation
            throw new System.Exception("test exception please ignore");
        }
    }
}

  2. Build your app and upload symbol information after your build finishes.

    • iOS+: The Firebase Unity Editor plugin automatically configures your Xcode project to upload your symbol file.

    • Android: For your Android apps that use IL2CPP, run the Firebase CLI crashlytics:symbols:upload command to upload your symbol file.

  3. Run your app. Once your app is running, watch the device log and wait for the exception to trigger from the CrashlyticsTester.

    • iOS+: View logs in the bottom pane of Xcode.

    • Android: View logs by running the following command in the terminal: adb logcat.

  4. Go to the Crashlytics dashboard of the Firebase console to see your test crash.

If you've refreshed the console and you're still not seeing the test crash after five minutes, try enabling debug logging (next section).

Enable debug logging for Crashlytics

If you don't see your test crash in the Crashlytics dashboard, you can use debug logging for Crashlytics to help track down the problem.

  1. Enable debug logging for Firebase by adding the following code to your app initialization:

    Firebase.FirebaseApp.LogLevel = Firebase.LogLevel.Debug;

  2. Force a test crash. The first section on this page describes how to do this.

If you don't see logs from Firebase or your test crash in the Crashlytics dashboard of the Firebase console after five minutes, reach out to Firebase Support with a copy of your log output so that we can help you troubleshoot further.
