Friday's release post introduced the new crash-protection system. This post is the detailed version: why it exists, what it does on the device, and how to turn it on.
What is Codename One? Codename One is an open-source framework for building native iOS, Android, desktop, and web apps from a single Java or Kotlin codebase. Learn more at codenameone.com.
The motivation is portability. Every port we add widens the set of platforms an app can break on, and testing across all of them by hand does not scale. The old crash-protection tool emailed you a stack trace; that worked, but it did not symbolicate native crashes, and a busy app could bury you in mail. The new com.codename1.crash package replaces it with something seamless, and the seam it removes is the work you used to do yourself.
Put plainly: once a product ships on several platforms and starts to grow, this is the only practical way to support it in production. Keeping up with crashes from devices you do not own, on operating systems you cannot all reproduce locally, is not realistic without something like it. That is the gap this fills.
