Sentry.io

Sentry tells you about errors in your code before your customers have a chance to encounter them.

With Sentry, you’ll see exactly how many users have been impacted by a bug, the stack trace, the commit that the error was released as part of, the engineer who wrote the line of code that is currently busted, and a lot more.

Give it a try and let them know we sent you at: https://www.sentry.io/for/swift
