instabug-cordova

Instabug Cordova Plugin

The purpose of this plugin is to simplify the process of integrating the Instabug SDK in a hybrid application, as well as to provide an interface to interact with the SDK through JavaScript.

Instabug is a bug reporting and in-app feedback tool that provides your testers and users with easy “shake to send” feedback from within the app, to report bugs and issues easily. You’ll get attached screenshots, screen recordings, annotations, network logs to help you take insightful decisions. You’ll also receive all the device details, environment snapshots and bug reproduction steps so that you can fix bugs and iterate faster.

Installation

Cordova:

cordova plugin add instabug-cordova

Ionic:

ionic cordova plugin add instabug-cordova

Android Integration Steps

1. Change the name of the application class in your AndroidManifest.xml file to android:name="com.instabug.cordova.plugin.MyApplication".

2. You need to add your app token in the MyApplication class, by replacing YOUR_ANDROID_TOKEN. (You can find this class under this path YourProjectName/platforms/android/app/src/main/java/com.instabug.cordova.plugin/MyApplication.java)

3. You can change the invocation event by changing this line InstabugInvocationEvent.SHAKE in the MyApplication class to any of the following:

InstabugInvocationEvent.FLOATING_BUTTON, InstabugInvocationEvent.SCREENSHOT_GESTURE, InstabugInvocationEvent.TWO_FINGER_SWIPE_LEFT, or InstabugInvocationEvent.NONE.

1. Make sure the following snippet is added to your project level build.gradle, if not you can manually add it as follows:.

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "https://sdks.instabug.com/nexus/repository/instabug-cp"
        }
    }
}

⚠️ Starting from Instabug-Cordova v9, we require the compileSdkVersion to be set to a minimum of 29. It can be set inside the app's build.gradle file as below:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 29
}

iOS Integration Steps

You can initialize the SDK by using this method in your App JS file.

cordova.plugins.instabug.activate(
    {
        ios: 'MY_IOS_TOKEN'
    },
    'shake',
    {
    	commentRequired: true,
    	colorTheme: 'light'
    },
    function () {
        console.log('Instabug initialized.');
    },
    function (error) {
        console.log('Instabug could not be initialized - ' + error);
    }
);

You can change the invocation event with any of the following: 'button', 'screenshot', 'swipe', or 'shake'.

⚠️ TypeScript users, make sure you declare cordova at the beginning of your app class (app.component.ts):

declare let cordova: any;
