New Relic iOS Agent

New Relic's mobile monitoring capabilities help you gain deeper visibility into how to analyze your iOS application performance and troubleshoot crashes. You can also examine HTTP and other network performance for unexpected lag, which will in turn help you collaborate more efficiently with your backend teams.

New Relic iOS Agent supports iOS 📱, tvOS 📺, watchOS ⌚️, and macOS (Catalyst) 💻.

This repository consists of an Xcode workspace containing the New Relic iOS Agent source code. The Agent is packaged as an XCFramework. The framework is available via Swift Package Manager (preferred installation method), Cocoapods, and as a zip file download.

See the XCFramework agent release notes for the latest release information. These release notes contain the link to the XCFramework zip file download.

Getting Started

If you have not created a Mobile Application in New Relic:

• Click "+ Add data" in the top right,
• In the Browser & Mobile section - please select the iOS tile, Select your Account
• Name your app
• Install the New Relic iOS Agent to your supported application. This should be an iOS, tvOS, or Catalyst app. Follow the instructions to install via the Swift Package Manager
• You can also select the "+ Add data" option from the user menu in the upper right corner of the top navigation, then the iOS button to access the installation page.

If you have previously created a Mobile Application in New Relic:

• Click the name of your mobile app,
• Choose Installation from the Settings section in the left nav, and
• Install the New Relic iOS Agent to your supported application. This should be an iOS, tvOS, or Catalyst app. Follow the instructions to install via the Swift Package Manager

Usage

An example app which demonstrates usage of the New Relic iOS Agent is included in the Agent workspace.

• From Xcode change to the NRTestApp scheme to run the example app.
• Add your New Relic application token to NRAPIInfo.plist as a String under the key NRAPIKey.
• For more information see the README.md in the NRTestApp directory.

dSYM Upload Tools

By default, the New Relic iOS Agent will report crashes to New Relic. In order to view symbolicated crashes, your app must upload its debugging symbols to New Relic. The Agent contains the run-symbol-tool script for this purpose.

• Xcode Run Script: Copy and paste the following line, replacing APP_TOKEN with your application token:

iOS agent 7.4.0 or higher:

ARTIFACT_DIR="${BUILD_DIR%Build/*}"
SCRIPT=`/usr/bin/find "${SRCROOT}" "${ARTIFACT_DIR}" -type f -name run-symbol-tool | head -n 1`
/bin/sh "${SCRIPT}" "APP_TOKEN"

• Add --debug as additional argument after the app token to write additional details to the upload_dsym_results.log file.

iOS agent 7.3.8 or lower:

SCRIPT=`/usr/bin/find "${SRCROOT}" -name newrelic_postbuild.sh | head -n 1`

if [ -z "${SCRIPT}"]; then
    ARTIFACT_DIR="${BUILD_DIR%Build/*}SourcePackages/artifacts"
    SCRIPT=`/usr/bin/find "${ARTIFACT_DIR}" -name newrelic_postbuild.sh | head -n 1`
fi

/bin/sh "${SCRIPT}" "APP_TOKEN"

OPTIONAL:

Add the following lines to your build script above the existing lines to skip symbol upload during debugging:

if [ ${CONFIGURATION} = "Debug" ]; then
    echo "Skipping DSYM upload CONFIGURATION: ${CONFIGURATION}"
    exit 0
fi

Note for Cocoapods or manual XCFramework integration:

With the 7.4.6 release the dsym-upload-tools are no longer included inside the XCFramework. The dsym-upload-tools are available in the dsym-upload-tools folder of the https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-ios-agent-spm Swift Package Manager repository. Please copy this dsym-upload-tools directory to your applications source code directory if you are integrating the New Relic iOS Agent by copying XCFramework into project or using cocoapods.

The run-symbol-tool Run script must be added to your app's Xcode project build phases.

• dsym-upload-tools/run-symbol-tool: Shell script which is used to bootstrap Swift script.
• dsym-upload-tools/run-symbol-tool.swift: Swift script which converts dSYMs to map files and uploads to New Relic.

Building

• To check out the code, run the following git command. Note the recursive submodule addition to make sure we get the repo's git submodules.

  • git clone [email protected]:newrelic/newrelic-ios-agent.git --recurse-submodules

• Open newrelic-ios-agent/Agent.xcworkspace using the Finder.

• Option 1: Build using Xcode.

• Option 2: Build using Fastlane

  • bundle exec fastlane buildFramework
    • Run the above command to create the New Relic iOS Agent XCFramework.

Testing

• Option 1: Run the Unit Tests using Xcode by selecting Agent-iOS scheme and Product -> Test
• Option 2: Running tests using Fastlane
  • bundle exec fastlane runIOSTests
    • Run above command to run tests on iOS. Upon completion, code coverage will be generated.
      • run brew install lcov to add lcov for code coverage.
