How Symbolication Works on Android
On Android, while symbolicating a crash, we enhanced the way we upload files in Android.
While uploading a new mapping file, a developer can choose its:
App version number.
The developer will see all the previously uploaded files sorted descendingly by when they got uploaded (new file on top of the table). Also, they can delete a previously uploaded mapping file, as shown below:
Crash Symbolication Process
When symbolicating a crash, we add the corresponding Version Code mapping file (which we display between brackets in the app_version); a message will be displayed inside the crash when it is not symbolicated.
It will check whether we have a mapping file with the corresponding version code. If we don't find the mapping file corresponding to the correct app version, the developer must upload the deobfuscation file of version_code (version name).
Once a mapping file is uploaded, all relevant crashes will be symbolicated.
