On this page, we get you up and running with Sentry's Apple SDK, which will automatically report errors and exceptions in your application.

If you don't already have an account and Sentry project established, head over to sentry.io, then return to this page.

In addition to capturing errors, you can monitor interactions between multiple services or applications by enabling tracing.

Select which Sentry features you'd like to install in addition to Error Monitoring to get the corresponding installation and configuration instructions below.

Sentry captures data by using an SDK within your application's runtime. These are platform-specific and allow Sentry to have a deep understanding of how your application works.

We recommend installing the SDK with Swift Package Manager (SPM), but we also support alternate installation methods. To integrate Sentry into your Xcode project, open your App in Xcode and open File > Add Packages. Then add the SDK by entering the git repo url in the top right search field:

Copied
https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-cocoa.git

To capture all errors, initialize the SDK as soon as possible, such as in your AppDelegate application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method:

Copied
import Sentry

func application(_ application: UIApplication,
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {

    SentrySDK.start { options in
        options.dsn = "https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0"
        options.debug = true // Enabled debug when first installing is always helpful

        // Set tracesSampleRate to 1.0 to capture 100% of transactions for performance monitoring.
        // We recommend adjusting this value in production.
        options.tracesSampleRate = 1.0
    }

    return true
}

Verify that your app is sending events to Sentry by adding the following snippet, which includes an intentional error. You should see the error reported in Sentry within a few minutes.

To verify crashes, ensure you run your application without a debugger attached. Otherwise, the SDK won't capture the crash.

Copied
import Sentry

do {
    try aMethodThatMightFail()
} catch {
    SentrySDK.capture(error: error)
}
