Crashes in Google Play Store not coming through Raygun

Hi,

In reviewing our Google Play Store stats, we've found a bunch of crashes with stack traces like this:

java.lang.RuntimeException: 
  at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:1358)
Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: 
  at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method:0)
  at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:1468)

However, these crashes have not come through to Raygun. Other crashes have, so I know that Raygun is configured correctly.

The stack trace itself is so generic in nature that I can't really find any useful information from it.

Any ideas what is causing these crashes? Why are they not coming through to Raygun?

Thanks

Hi Gauche,

Stacktraces like these are to do with the initial startup of applications. Raygun would not be initialised and ready to listen for exceptions at this point in time and so they would not be reported through Raygun. This article explains a little bit more of the role of Zygote: http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/AndroidInternals/article.html#internals. I hope this helps to clarify why you are seeing these exceptions.

Cheers, Mitchell.
