Zipy.ai Launches Native Mobile SDKs for Comprehensive Debugging

Let's be honest, mobile apps aren't what they used to be. They're faster, smarter, and a huge part of our daily lives. But that progress comes with headaches: countless device types, users expecting perfection, and the absolute need for apps to run smoothly. Too often, figuring out what's wrong with a native app feels like stumbling in the dark.

The thing is, native development is mainstream now – it's the bedrock for so many great experiences. It’s only fair that mobile teams get observability tools just as good as what web developers have had for ages.

So, we're really excited to share that Zipy.ai is launching Native SDKs for:

• Android (Java & Kotlin)
• iOS (Swift & Objective-C)

What does this mean for you? You get session replays, knowing exactly why crashes happen in real-time, and keeping a close eye on performance - built right into your mobile stack.

Here's what you get with our new Native Mobile SDKs:

You can drop these right into your live apps. We built them to be super lightweight and mindful of mobile resources, so you get all the insights without bogging things down.

• Fast Integration: Get set up and collect data in under 5 minutes. Time saved!
• Built-in Security & Privacy: Transmissions are always encrypted, and we automatically Hide PII Data from logs for your peace of mind at device level.

Unleash These Powerful Capabilities:

Crystal-Clear User Sessions (Native Session Replay):

• Gain perfect visibility into the user journey: capture every tap, swipe, gesture, and screen change.
• No more guesswork! Reconstruct even the trickiest bugs instantly by watching the replay.

Catch Errors the Moment They Happen (Real-Time Error Monitoring):

• Get instant alerts for crashes, hangs and exceptions (across Java, Kotlin, Swift, & Objective-C).
• Pinpoint the exact line of code causing the issue with clear stack traces.
• Detects more than just crashes: spot frozen UI, null pointer errors, and failed API calls (like 4xx/5xx errors).

Keep Your App Running Smoothly (Performance Monitoring):

• Track key performance metrics like app start time, screen loading speed, and frustrating "Application Not Responding" (ANR) events.
• Measure performance precisely where it matters, even for screens that load content on demand.

Your error tracking agent (Oopsie):

• AI automatically surfaces hidden frustrations like rage taps, blank screens, and dead UI elements.
• Intelligently groups related issues by root cause, drastically cutting down on noise.
• Stay ahead of the curve with prioritized alerts on the bugs that matter most to your users.

Even More Tools in Your Toolkit

On top of the core features, our native SDKs bring you even more detailed insights:

• Know Every Tap and Swipe (Gesture Tracking): See more than just simple taps – understand long presses, double taps, and how users scroll. This helps you spot where your UI might be confusing or frustrating.
• Deep Dive into Network Calls (Advanced Network Monitoring): Easily track all communication between your app and servers. Check headers, data sent/received, response times, and failures to quickly debug API issues or latency problems.
• Understand the "Where" and "Why" (Context-Aware Debugging): Every bug report comes with crucial context: device model, OS version, app version, language, screen size, and more. This makes it easy to see if issues are specific to certain devices or regions.
• Smarter Error Details (Exception Handling Enhancements): Don't just see that an error happened, understand why. We capture both handled and unhandled exceptions and link them directly to the user's session, giving stack traces much more context.
• Map the User Journey (Screen Navigation Tracking): See exactly which screens users visit and in what order. Combine this with session replays for a powerful understanding of how people really navigate your app.
• Track What Matters to You (Custom Event Logging): Log specific actions unique to your app – maybe a specific button click, a feature being used, or a setting being changed. This integrates smoothly with your existing analytics, too.
• AI Session Summaries: AI-generated summaries that pinpoint key user actions, frustration points, and errors. This functionality aids in quickly identifying and addressing user experience problems, enhancing overall product performance.
• Privacy & Security Baked In: We automatically protect sensitive user data (like passwords, tokens, and personal info) through masking, encrypt all data sent from the app, and are built with privacy best practices in mind.

Performance

We prioritized performance when building the SDK to minimize impact on app size, startup time, and resource usage.

It's designed to be lightweight and initialize quickly, with low memory and battery consumption. Background tasks won't interfere with your app's responsiveness.

Works With Your Stack

Zipy integrates seamlessly where you need it:

• Alongside Firebase Crashlytics.
• With observability/analytics platforms like Sentry, Datadog, Segment.
• Within your CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.).
• Controllable via feature flags for different build environments (dev/release).

Conclusion

Zipy.ai’s native SDKs offer a full observability solution built right into your mobile app, going far beyond simple crash reporting. You get the power of session replays, real-time performance monitoring, AI-driven insights and everything you need to debug and optimize confidently.

Rest assured, security and privacy are integral, not optional. Hiding PII Data, data encryption, and a privacy-first architecture are included by default.
