Does Bugsnag detect background oom errors on iOS?


Does anyone know how to turn on background OOM reporting on Bugsnag?

Bugsnag has an article titled Automatic detection and reporting of OOM errors that explicitly mentions background OOMs being disabled by default, but the linked resource for turning on background OOMs (here) makes no mention of background OOMs...

Does anyone know how to turn on background OOM reporting on Bugsngag? Is this actually possible?


Solution

  • Background OOM detection was removed because it generates to many false positives to be useful

    Once an app is in the background and no longer running iOS can kill / remove it from memory for any number of reasons. There's no reliable way (yet) for an app to determine why its previous run was killed.
