Why Do We Need to Monitor Features for Failures in Android Apps?
Appxiom provides a mechanism to monitor execution of functions in a defined sequence. This helps in monitoring features in Android apps.
Technical insights on building faster, more reliable mobile and web apps. Covering debugging, performance optimization, APM strategies, and engineering best practices.

Appxiom provides a mechanism to monitor execution of functions in a defined sequence. This helps in monitoring features in Android apps.

Let us consider a scenario where your app user initiates a payment process in your Android app. You must have an integrated payment processing platform like Stripe in your app. The outcome of the transaction can result in either success or failure.

It is better to execute all time-consuming processes in Android apps like database operations, I/O operations and calculations through separate threads. This approach will help in avoiding such delays.

When iOS app consumes increasing amount of memory, it may lead to app crash. Appxiom reports high memory usage with data to reproduce them.

Manual bug detection and data collection in Android mobile apps during testing and development environment is time consuming and in production it is near impossible. Here is where tools like Appxiom aid the developers.

With basic integration, Appxiom is capable of detecting frame rate issues in iOS apps. To avoid frame rate issues, UI thread should not be burdened with any time consuming processes.

Wake locks determine whether the CPU or screen should stay awake or go to sleep. But using wake locks can create bugs that can drain the battery of android device. This article explores the ways to avoid such bugs.

The only way to avoid ANR in Android apps is developers need to ensure that the UI thread has very less burden and all time-consuming processes that take beyond 16 milliseconds are executed through worker threads.

Memory leak is a critical bug in watchOS apps, that often go unnoticed during development. Memory leaks can lead to EXC_BAD_ACCESS error and will manifest as app crashes in watchOS.

API bugs are the most common bugs in iOS and contribute 45% of all issues reported, followed by crashes at 25%. Memory leaks contribute 10% of bugs and came third in the list. Frame skips came next at 5%.

Crashes are the most common bug and contributed 33.3% of all bugs reported, followed by API call related bugs at 29.2%. Memory leaks contributed 16.7% of bugs and came third in the list. Delayed screen loading came next at 12.5%.

Appxiom detects and reports abnormal memory usage and memory spikes. Of course it detects memory leaks as well.

Appxiom reports API issues like status code errors, delay in API call execution, duplicate API calls in watchOS apps. Apart from API call issues, Appxiom is capable of detecting bugs like crashes, frame rate issues, abnormal memory usage, NSException based crashes, function, feature failures and custom issues.

Appxiom framework for watchOS detects bugs like high memory usage, API issues, NSException based crashes, in live apps.
