What Are the Common Bugs in iOS Apps
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%.
Technical insights on building faster, more reliable mobile and web apps. Covering debugging, performance optimization, APM strategies, and engineering best practices.

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.

Appxiom detects crashes in iOS apps and reports them will all the relevant data to find the root cause of crashes

Crashes can create a dent in user experience which might trigger users to uninstall the app. Appxiom helps to detect crashes and fix them fast.

Appxiom detects memory leaks in live iOS apps. The framework is available for both Objective-C and Swift.

Appxiom monitors HTTP(S) calls for duplication of calls, error status codes and delay in receiving response (based on bandwidth strength). The bug report will contain request details including request header, query parameters, request body, response header and response body size.

Memory leak is one of the most critical issues that can occur in an app. Developer may get to see an OutOfMemory (OOM) Exception with a stack trace that is of no practical use. Appxiom SDK detects memory leaks in Activites and Services in live mobile apps and in debug mode, it can drill down the memory leak to object.

This happened when I was working on the abnormal memory usage tracking feature in Android SDK for Appxiom.

DevOps is a constantly evolving division in a company, new tools are getting adopted, newer processes are being set leveraging the power of these new tools. This is happening abruptly in mobile application development.

Most mobile apps have a server-side application that it talks to over HTTP / HTTPS. These API calls are usually critical for the successful execution of the features in the app. Any failure during API calls results in incorrect execution and bad user experience.

App stability is the measure of quality of a mobile application. Stability is very much dependent on the device the user uses.
