New and improved Raygun4Apple provider

If you’ve ever needed to use Raygun to monitor tvOS apps, you’re in luck. Our new and improved Raygun4Apple provider now supports Crash Reporting and Real User Monitoring across more Apple platforms: iOS, tvOS, and macOS.

We’ve made some important improvements, specifically:

• Added macOS support
• Added Swift support
• Breadcrumb support for iOS, macOS, and tvOS
• Made improvements to stored crash reports
• Added bitcode support for iOS and tvOS

Note: This is a major version release so there are a few changes you’ll need to make. You can find out how to make the changes in our documentation.
