Hello,
I am creating a game in Unity and targeting only Android for now. In the Google Play console, I see you can get reports of crashes and ANRs. (See screenshot at bottom).
Firstly, how can I get my app to crash (for testing purposes)? I tried throwing an exception in my code, but the app does not crash. Does Unity have some kind of global OnError event that is handling the exception?
And, once I am able to get my app to crash, will the crash report show up automatically? Or is there some kind of API call I need to do in order to report the crash?
Android has a built in crash reporting method that is called when an app is force closed on errors, it will ask the user if they want to submit a bug report. That is the normal way of getting them - and that can take a day or so to process before it shows up in the developer console. I am not aware of a way to force your app to crash and allow you to submit a bug report, but if you had a way to do that, you’d have to upload a version of your app to a testing branch on google play before you could even test it out, which is a bit tedious for a pretend crash… I’d say just make sure you can avoid any possible crashes and errors by testing on a wide variety of devices and android versions.
