Overview of this book

Written with the best practices, this book will help you master Kotlin and use its powerful language features, libraries, tools, and APIs to elevate your Android apps. As you progress, you'll use Jetpack Compose and Material Design 3 to build UIs for your app, explore how to architect and improve your app architecture, and use Jetpack Libraries like Room and DataStore to persist your data locally. Using a step-by-step approach, this book will teach you how to debug issues in your app, detect leaks, inspect network calls fired by your app, and inspect your Room database. You'll also add tests to your apps to detect and address code smells. Toward the end, you’ll learn how to publish apps to the Google Play Store and see how to automate the process of deploying consecutive releases using GitHub actions, as well as learn how to distribute test builds to Firebase App Distribution. Additionally, the book covers tips on how to increase user engagement. By the end of this Kotlin book, you’ll be able to develop market-ready apps, add tests to their codebase, address issues, and get them in front of the right audience.

Using Firebase Crashlytics to detect crashes

Crashes can happen in our apps for a variety of reasons, including common coding issues such as null pointer exceptions, memory leaks, and improper data handling. Device fragmentation caused by different device hardware configurations and different Android operation systems introduces compatibility issues that may at times cause crashes too. Network issues, insufficient resources, or mismanagement of external dependencies, such as third-party libraries, can cause crashes too. Sometimes, we can anticipate and handle them gracefully. Other times, they are unexpected and we need to know about them so we can fix them. Our app is already on Google Play Store, so at times, we might not have the luxury to debug on the devices that are having issues. Tools such as Firebase Crashlytics can help us detect crashes in our apps and provide us with the information we need to fix them. In this section, we will be setting up Firebase Crashlytics in our...
