"We should probably implement some sort of top level exception handling that allows the user to submit a bug report directly from the app to make it easier to get a full backtrace. If you can get the full backtrace from logcat that'd be great." - #538 (comment)

How will the stacktraces look from a release build?

i ve seen some before and they are basically useless

example

	at r.u0.<init>(Unknown Source:72)
	at f1.c.y0(Unknown Source:28)
	at d5.j.X(Unknown Source:173)
	at n0.b.a(Unknown Source:50)
	at n0.b.X(Unknown Source:8)
	at s.j0.T(Unknown Source:181)
	at n0.b.b(Unknown Source:50)
	at n0.b.T(Unknown Source:8)
	at o.t.a(Unknown Source:2503)
	at o.t.Y(Unknown Source:317)
	at n0.b.Y(Unknown Source:58)
	at f7.i.t(Unknown Source:182)
	at x.c1.k(Unknown Source:182)
	at s.t.T(Unknown Source:152)
	at n0.b.b(Unknown Source:50)
	at n0.b.T(Unknown Source:8)
	at t.c.g(Unknown Source:80)
	at s.v.g(Unknown Source:61)
	at t.a.g(Unknown Source:67)
	at s.w.g(Unknown Source:12)
	at n.l0.a(Unknown Source:169)
	at n.l0.Y(Unknown Source:161)
	at n0.b.Y(Unknown Source:58)
	at f7.i.t(Unknown Source:182)
	at p0.h.f(Unknown Source:113)
	at t.k0.f(Unknown Source:32)

We could probably disable obfusication if isnt already since it's foss anyway but minimization/release optimizations will still make it look like that

It looks like GlitchTip is FOSS and supports android reporting, but I have no experience with it. I also don't know how this interacts with optimizers. We could, at the very least, manage exception messages better.

I have seen that raygun supposedly works with R8/ProGuard, but that's not free and probably not worth paying for with the current scale of Jerboa.

Anyone have any experience with other tools? I use Sentry at work, so I'm partial to GlitchTip.

It seems its possible

I've always used Sentry at work. I know Firebase Crashlytics also de-minifies/de-obfuscates if you provide source maps, and it's free afaik. I'm not sure how to open it for OSS projects though.

[MV-GH]

I have disabled obfuscation, and the stack traces are pretty readable. Dessalines won't agree to it unless its FOSS and we can host it ourselves.

Fixed by above PR.
