Jessica ManheimerProduct Marketing Manager Maël LilenstenSenior Product Manager Apple’s platform ecosystem is evolving as developers build production applications for watchOS and visionOS. Whether it’s a fitness app on Apple Watch or an immersive spatial computing experience on Apple Vision Pro, these platforms have moved beyond the experimental phase to support real users. Despite this growth in adoption, teams lack visibility into how their apps behave on these devices. Unlike iOS, where mature observability tooling exists, watchOS and visionOS have remained largely unobserved: Crashes go undiagnosed, errors surface without context, and sessions pass without insight into user experience.
Datadog Real User Monitoring (RUM) fills the visibility gap by supporting watchOS and visionOS in all regions, including GovCloud. Datadog has extended the existing dd-sdk-ios package to compile, run, and be fully tested on both platforms, so no separate SDK is required.
In this post, we’ll explore how RUM brings Apple Watch and Apple Vision Pro apps the same crash reporting, error tracking, and session-level observability that iOS teams rely on.
