usage statistics, crash reports

[erosson]

some way to record who's using the app - browser user-agent, mobile device model, mobile OS version, IP address. Some way to record important events within the app too, like errors and crashes. I'm thinking of Google Analytics, but from within Unity. I'll bet there's a service for this already.

If we could record who's using the app and when it crashes, we could see if certain devices are giving us trouble.

• these guys use google analytics from unity, plus flurry for mobile device stats: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/188226-Google-Analytics-Mobile-Plugin-Released-Free , http://www.flurry.com/flurry-analytics.html
• logging application-level errors: http://entitycrisis.blogspot.com/2011/01/error-reporting-from-your-unity3d-game.html
• I'll bet we could log errors to http://airbrake.io from this, but accounts with more than one user cost money each month and I'm a cheapass. Probably use errbit: https://github.com/errbit/errbit , or just post errors to a custom webapp on my ec2 instance
• global exception handling by exception handler (we'd just want to log and rethrow): the Application.ThreadException event. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/337702/c-sharp-how-to-implement-one-catchem-all-exception-handler-with-resume
• global exception handling by log: there's a stacktrace parameter, so we can handle only exceptions that make it to the top, exactly what we want! http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Application.RegisterLogCallback.html http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/20147/global-error-logging-and-overflow-checking.html

This seems very promising. Added it to our app, still waiting to see results. Once I'm sure it's working, I can grant yall access to view the data.

Access granted. Verified in person that everyone can see it. Joy!
