Common C# Exceptions Aggregated - NullReferenceException

We're using the Xamarin component for reporting errors in a cross platform Android/iOS app.

One thing I keep seeing is that any NullReferenceException gets aggregated together, even though they could be completely separate issues. So the thing that further complicates it, is that I generally associate it with a Github issue, but we really need each occurrence (with a different stacktrace) associated with a different Github issue.

Is there a way to workaround this issue?

Thanks.

Hi Jason,

Not having issues with NullReferenceExceptions any more, thanks.

I am having issues with certain kinds of Obj-C errors not getting grouped in Xamarin apps. For example, in the Hanx Writer app:

Here are two examples of errors that are not getting merged into a single error group:

• https://app.raygun.io/dashboard/7f2j2x/errors/531251394?
• https://app.raygun.io/dashboard/7f2j2x/errors/531256755?

The error reads:

[NSInvalidArgumentException: Application tried to present inside popover with transition style other than UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical <_UIDocumentActivityViewController: 0x160a6e50>.]

The only difference is the memory address in the message, which seems to keep them from grouping.

I also notice that these are not getting symbolicated, but I have uploaded the dSym files for each app store build and most TestFlight beta builds.

Do I need to delete old dSym files associated with the app? Or is something going wrong there?

Thanks,

Ok, so I'd love to use this beta in the Hanx Writer, but I am having to use the new unified Xamarin APIs. So I can't use this DLL. Is the source for it on a branch somewhere?

Eventually it would be great if you guys supported the unified API with your NuGet package, too -- it wouldn't take that long to do. I've ported the main iOS project to unified on this fork, but it needs to be setup as two projects and added to the NuGet package properly: https://github.com/jonathanpeppers/raygun4net

Yeah, since your new library is using a binding project, you can't build a unified binding project on the version of Xamarin.iOS that is out right now.

I emailed Xamarin to see if I can get an early build of this to try it out.

Since the native stuff is working now. I have one more question.

I know Raygun Sidekick will automatically upload dSyms from archives in Xcode, but is there an option to do it command line? We already use TeamCity to make IPAs and upload them to Hockey for our beta testers, and I’d love to automatically upload dSyms to Raygun at the same time.

I'm trying this method, it looks like he is emulating the Raygun website with curl.

He doesn't explain what the <token> is in his curl example. So I've not been able to get it to work.

I tried generating a basic auth header with my credentials, tried the app's api token, and also tried using the raygun.sso cookie value I see in my browser. Can I get details on this?

I'm pretty sure I have the dSym file and app ID correct already.

Thanks, I got it to work.

It seems like I mistyped my password when generating the auth header in Postman.
