Raygun4iOS not reporting all crashes.

I'm having similar issues to what the xamarain guys have been explaining over on this thread. Obviously not caused by the same thing.

One app of our apps has CoreData crashes reporting correctly, but forcing a crash through the Raygun test, reported nothing. On another app however, the opposite happens.

EDIT: More are coming through now. However still missing a few.

Hi Punters,

Are you using the beta of the Raygun4Net.Xamarin.iOS provider with native exception support? One thing to note is that native exception reports will only be sent once the app has been re-run again after the previous session crashed.

If you are using the native Raygun4iOS provider, then similarly all exceptions reports only get sent after the application has been restarted after a previous session crashed. Further more, exceptions usually can't be logged if the XCode debugger is attached to the app.

Could this explain why some exceptions are missing?

Using the native Raugun4iOS. What you mention here is most likely the issue. I began to assume that the version attached to the debugger was the reason fro not seeing some crashes. Didn't realise the crashes were sent during the next run of the app.

Previously used Google Analytics, where it all seems to work the other way, however, the reports were pretty unusable.

This is good to know! At least now we know we have it all set up and working correctly.

Is there somewhere in the documentation that mentions any of what you said? If not, could it be added? A nice outline of the flow of Raygun4iOS would be awesome, as people coming from other services might make the wrong assumptions just as I have.

Thanks for the feedback. Those 2 points I mentioned are not currently in the docs but we will definitely be adding this to at least the main docs, the setup page in the app, and the readme of the provider.
