Since the introduction of Swift in 2014 and over five major releases, it has matured a lot. The tooling is better and many teams have either completely switched to Swift and away from Objective-C, or are mixing between both with all new code being written in Swift. Swift leverages programming patterns and language features that…
From day one, we were determined to always keep the integration of the Instabug SDK a breeze. And we’ve been able to achieve this successfully by keeping it at just two lines of code that you add to your app in less than 60 seconds. We’ve also been adding lots of customizations based on your feedback…
Note: This post was originally published on Aug. 6, 2014 and was updated on Oct. 21, 2018 to reflect new features in the Instabug SDK for Android. Alright, so hopefully by now, you’ve had a chance to integrate the Instabug SDK for Android into your application and have received your first bug, crash, and feedback…
Alright, so hopefully by now, you’ve had a chance to integrate the Instabug SDK for iOS into your application and have received your first bug, crash, and feedback report. If you still haven’t, you can read here to learn how. For this post, I want to explain some of the features available with the SDK and how…
More intuitive, more organized, and easier to use APIs To make the APIs more intuitive and easily reachable for you, we renamed some of them, removed the deprecated ones, and restructured them into different classes. These changes apply to our SDK APIs for all platforms. How to adopt the new changes: Update the Instabug…
Should you use Interface Builder and storyboards or write all your UI in code? This topic has been debated A LOT. There are good arguments on both sides, and every team’s and project’s needs are different. I’m not trying to convince you why one approach is better than the other, but rather share why we…
Over the past year, the Instabug BugSquad has grown rapidly. With a 200% increase in team size, we had to think hard about how to scale an engineering company without added bureaucracy and with improved productivity. In the end, this meant we had to refactor our code base. As with all complex engineering endeavors, things…
Ever since I started developing for iOS, I have been working exclusively on mobile apps. I didn’t have any real experience shipping an SDK, other than HMSegmentedControl, which doesn’t really count as an SDK. I recently became a Product Owner at Instabug, where I also lead the iOS team. We build an SDK for bug…
Having answered the question of why we don’t use Swift at Instabug many times over the past few months while doing interviews (P.S. We’re hiring), I decided to write a blog post. Since Swift’s introduction in 2014, it has matured a lot. We no longer read the stories of how unstable the compiler is, or…
TL;DR Today we’re finally going out of beta and launching Instabug 3.0. We believe it’s 10x better than what we had before. You can read why we did this and what’s new in it, or you could just try it yourself! We’re super excited to finally share with you what we’ve been working…
Since the first version of the Instabug SDK, we’ve been pushing ourselves to build an experience that’s transparent to the user. We started with simple UI elements that fit different app designs and offering color customizations for all the UI elements. But with the constant urge to simplify our design, we decided to take it…
We’ve been working non-stop on the Instabug for Android SDK. Today we’re happy to tell you that Droid has a new friend! When developing the SDK for Android apps we remained true to Instabug’s core axiom: simplicity of integration! It’s just a few steps to get the SDK working: 1. Acquire the SDK …
