watchOS

Features:

  • Limited symbolication support and no crash handling
  • Events enriched with device data
  • Offline caching when a device is unable to connect; we send a report once we receive another event
  • Attachments enrich your event by storing additional files, such as config or log files
  • User Feedback provides the ability to collect user information when an event occurs

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

Don't already have an account and Sentry project established? Head over to sentry.io, then return to this page.

Install

Sentry captures data by using an SDK within your application’s runtime.

The minimum version for watchOS is 2.0. Our SDK has limited symbolication support and no crash handling for watchOS.

We recommend installing the SDK with CocoaPods, but we also support alternate installation methods. To integrate Sentry into your Xcode project, specify it in your Podfile:

Copied
platform :watchos, '2.0'
use_frameworks! # This is important

target 'YourApp' do
  pod 'Sentry', :git => 'https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-cocoa.git', :tag => '8.0.0'
end

Then run pod install.

Configure

Configuration should happen as early as possible in your application's lifecycle.

You should also initialize the SDK as soon as possible, such as in your AppDelegate application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method:

Copied
import Sentry // Make sure you 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
    }

    return true
}

When using SwiftUI and your app doesn't implement an app delegate, initialize the SDK within the App conformer's initializer:

Copied
import Sentry

@main
struct SwiftUIApp: App {
    init() {
        SentrySDK.start { options in
            options.dsn = "https://examplePublicKey@o0.ingest.sentry.io/0"
            options.debug = true // Enabled debug when first installing is always helpful
        }
    }
}

Experimental features

Want to play with some new features? Try out our experimental features for file I/O, Core Data, User Interaction Instrumentation, Screenshots. Experimental features are still a work-in-progress and may have bugs. We recognize the irony.

Let us know if you have feedback through GitHub issues.

Copied
import Sentry

SentrySDK.start { options in
    // ...

    // Enable all experimental features
    options.enablePreWarmedAppStartTracing = true
    options.attachScreenshot = true
    options.attachViewHierarchy = true
    options.enableMetricKit = true
}

Use Sentry with SwiftUI

If you want to find out the performance of your Views in a SwiftUI project, try the SentrySwiftUI library.

Provide Debug Information

Before capturing crashes, you need to provide debug information to Sentry. Debug information is provided by uploading dSYM files.

Verify

This snippet includes an intentional error, so you can test that everything is working as soon as you set it up:

Copied
import Sentry

let error = NSError(domain: "YourErrorDomain", code: 0, userInfo: nil)
SentrySDK.capture(error: error)

To view and resolve the recorded error, log into sentry.io and open your project. Clicking on the error's title will open a page where you can see detailed information and mark it as resolved.
