Firebase Crashlytics
Track, prioritize, and fix app crashes faster
About Firebase Crashlytics
Firebase Crashlytics is a lightweight, realtime crash reporting tool from Google that helps mobile developers track, prioritize, and fix stability issues that erode app quality. It automatically captures crashes and groups them by user impact, surfacing the most pressing problems first and providing the contextual logs, breadcrumbs, and metadata needed to reproduce and resolve bugs quickly. Crashlytics supports Android, Apple, Flutter, and Unity apps as part of the broader Firebase platform.
