Crittercism Destination

Our Crittercism destination code is open sourced on GitHub. Feel free to check it out: iOS, Android.

Getting Started

To get started with Crittercism and Segment, you’ll want to integrate our Android or iOS SDK into your mobile app.

Once the Segment library is integrated with your app, toggle Crittercism on in your Segment destination catalog, and add your App Id which you can find in your Crittercism app settings. These new settings will take up to an hour to propagate to all of your existing users. For new users it’ll be instantaneous!

React Native set up

To add the Crittercism device-mode SDK to a React Native project:

1. Navigate to the root folder of your project, and run a yarn add crittercism command to add the destination SDK to your project.
2. Add an import statement to your project, as in the example below.

   import Crittercism from '@segment/analytics-react-native-crittercism'
   

3. In the same project file, add the destination to the using list in the await command.

   await analytics.setup('YOUR_WRITE_KEY', {
     // Add any of your Device-mode destinations. This ensures they load before continuing.
     using: Crittercism
     // ...
   })
   

4. Finally, change to your iOS development folder ( cd ios ) and run pod install.

Identify

Crittercism can show you information about the user using your app. You can record that info with our identify method. You should put the identify call as soon as you know the user’s identity. This usually happens after they register or log in.

Track

When an error occurs, you’ll want to know what user actions led to the crash. Crittercism allows you to leave “breadcrumbs” for this purpose.

Whenever you call track, we’ll leave a breadcrumb in Crittercism. Track takes the name of the event and any optional properties you want to associate with the event.

Supported Sources and Connection Modes

Before you start, make sure Crittercism supports the source type and connection mode you’ve chosen to implement. You can learn more about connection modes here.

This destination requires that you use a Device-based Connection Mode for Mobile data. Make sure you package the Crittercism mobile SDK with the Segment mobile library.

Settings

Segment lets you change these destination settings from the Segment app without having to touch any code.

App ID

You can find your App ID on the Crittercism Settings page. It should be 24 characters long, and look something like this: 93ac1026a7928a581c000002.
