Example: When sending a beta version to beta testers, I'll still want all of their crash/freeze reports to be sent to 'Google Play' (Former 'Android market').

Note: Such a beta version can be published by email (for example) and not downloaded using 'Google Play'. It would be installed manually by allowing 'Unknown sources'.

  • I use Flurry in all my apps now. It will do a stack trace on crash and you can check relevant information on the users devices. – a54studio Sep 13 '12 at 23:48
  • I don't think it does, this is somewhat related to my question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10559267/how-to-reuse-launch-intent-action-bug-report-and-use-it-as-a-normal-feedback-f Let me know if you find something! – kaderud Sep 13 '12 at 23:50

Actually, Google Play doesn't literally "track" crashes. What it actually does is give the user the option to send a report when the app needs to Force Close (e.g. there's an unhandled exception).

So, no. That option is not available unless the app was downloaded from Google Play.

Unless it is loaded from the market it wouldn't likely track it. Use Flurry, it's simple to add and works on apps emailed, downloaded, or whatever.

  • What do you mean by likely? Yes or no? And why? – AlikElzin-kilaka Sep 14 '12 at 05:53
  • I was trying to say no in a nice way, but no it wouldn't keep up with it unless it was loaded from the market. It wouldn't even know it existed. Like I said, what you are trying to achieve can easily be done in Flurry or Bugsense. – a54studio Sep 14 '12 at 20:21
