Main features of QuincyKit

(Automatically) send crash reports to a developers database
Let the user decide per crash to (not) send data or always send
The user has the option to provide additional information in the settings, like email address for contacting the user
Give the user immediate feedback if the crash is known and will be fixed in the next update, or if the update is already waiting at Apple for approval, or if the update is already available to install

Main features on backend side for the developer

Admin interface to manage the incoming crash log data
Script to symbolicate crash logs on the database, needs to be run on a mac with access to the DSYM files
Automatic grouping of crash files for most likely same kind of crashes
Maintain crash reports and sort them by using simple patterns. Automatically know how many times a bug has occured and easily filter the new ones in the DB
Assign bugfix versions for each crash group and define a status for each version, which can be used to provide some feedback for the user like: Bug already fixed, new version with bugfix already available, etc.

Server side files

/server/database_schema.sql contains all the default tables
/server/crash_v200.php is the file that is invoked by the iPhone app
/server/config.php contains database access information
/server/test_setup.php simple script that checks if everything required on the server is available
/server/admin/ contains all administration scripts
/server/admin/symbolicate.php needs to be copied to a local mac, and the url has to be adjusted to access the scripts on your server

SERVER INSTALLATION

The server requires at least PHP 5.2 and a MySQL server installation!

Copy the server scripts to your web server: All files inside /server except the content of the /server/local directory
Execute the SQL statements from database_schema.sql in your MySQL database on the web server

SERVER DATABASE CONFIGURATION

Adjust settings in /server/CONFIG.PHP:

$server = 'your.server.com'; // database server hostname $loginsql = 'database_username'; // username to access the database $passsql = 'database_password'; // password for the above username $base = 'database_name'; // database name which contains the below listed tables
Adjust $default_amount_crashes, this defines the amount of crashes listed right away per pattern, if there are more, those are shown after clicking on a link at the end of the shortened list
Adjust your local timezone in the last line: date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Berlin') (see http://de3.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php)
If you DO NOT want to limit the server to accept only data for your applications:
- set $acceptallapps to true
Otherwise:
- start the web interface
- add the bundle identifiers of the permitted apps, e.g. "de.buzzworks.crashreporterdemo" (this is the same bundle identifier string as used in the info.plist of your app!)
Invoke test_setup.php via the browser to check if everything is setup correctly and Push can be used or not
If you are upgrading a previous edition, invoke 'migrate.php' first to update the database setup

UPDATE TO QUINCYKIT 2.0

Add the new database fields to the following tables:

apps

  `hockeyappidentifier` text default NULL

crash

  `jailbreak` int(11) unsigned default '0'

If you are upgrading from an early version, please make sure the database follows the schema defined in database_schema.sql.

SERVER ENABLE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS

NOTICE: Push Notification requires the Server PHP installation to have curl addon installed!
NOTICE: Push Notifications are implemented using Prowl iPhone app and web service, you need the app and an Prowl API key!
Adjust settings in /server/CONFIG.PHP:
- set $push_activated to true
- if you don't want a push message for every new pattern, set $push_newtype to false
- adjust $notify_amount_group to the amount of crash occurences of a pattern when a push message should be sent
- add up to 5 comma separated prowl api keys into $push_prowlids to receive the push messages on the device
- adjust $notify_default_version, defines if you want to receive pushes for automatically created new versions for your apps
If push is activated, check the web interface for push settings per app version

SETUP LOCAL SYMBOLIFICATION

NOTICE: These are the instructions when using Mac OS X 10.6.2
Copy the files inside of /server/local onto a local directory on your Intel Mac running at least Mac OS X 10.6.2 having the iPhone SDK 3.x installed
Adjust settings in local/serverconfig.php
- set $hostname to the server hostname running the server side part, e.g. www.crashreporterdemo.com
- if the /admin/ directory on the server is access restricted, set the required username into $webuser and password into $webpwd
- adjust the path to access the scripts (will be appended to $hostname):
  - $downloadtodosurl = '/admin/actionapi.php?action=getsymbolicationtodo'; // the path to the script delivering the todo list
  - $getcrashdataurl = '/admin/actionapi.php?action=getlogcrashid&id='; // the path to the script delivering the crashlog
  - $updatecrashdataurl = '/admin/crash_update.php'; // the path to the script updating the crashlog
Make the modified symbolicatecrash.pl file from the /server/local/ directory executable: chmod + x symbolicatecrash.pl
Copy the .app package and .app.dSYM package of each version into any directory of your Mac Best is to add the version number to the directory of each version, so multiple versions of the same app can be symbolicated. Example:
```
  QuincyDemo_1_0/QuincyDemo.app
  QuincyDemo_1_0/QuincyDemo.app.dSYM
  QuincyDemoBeta_1_1/QuincyDemoBeta.app
  QuincyDemoBeta_1_1/QuincyDemoBeta.app.dSYM
```
Test symbolification:
- Download a crash report into the local directory from above
- run symbolicatecrash nameofthecrashlogfile .
- if the output shows function names and line numbers for your code and apples code, everything is fine and ready to go, otherwise there is a problem :(
If test was successful, try to execute php symbolicate.php This will print some error message which can be ignored
Open the web interface and check the crashlogs if they are now symbolicated
If everything went fine, setup a cron job
IMPORTANT: Don't forget to add new builds with .app and .app.dSYM packages to the directory, so symbolification will be done correctly There is currently no checking if a package is found in the directory before symbolification is started, no matter if it was or not, the result will be uploaded to the server

IPHONE PROJECT INSTALLATION

Include BWQuincyManager.h, BWQuincyManager.m and Quincy.bundle into your project
Include CrashReporter.framework into your project
Add the "-all_load" flag to your projects build configurations "Other Linker Flags"
Add the Apple framework SystemConfiguration.framework to your project
In your appDelegate.h include
```
#import "BWQuincyManager.h"
```
and let your appDelegate implement the protocol BWQuincyManagerDelegate

In your appDelegate applicationDidFinishLaunching function include

[[BWQuincyManager sharedQuincyManager] setSubmissionURL:@"http://yourserver.com/crash_v200.php"];

Done.
When testing the connection and a server side error appears after sending a crash log, the error code is printed in the console. Error code values are listed in BWQuincyManager.h

MAC PROJECT INSTALLATION

Include Quincy.framework into your project
In your appDelegate.h include
```
#import <Quincy/BWQuincyManager.h>
```
In your appDelegate.h add the BWQuincyManagerDelegate protocol to your appDelegate
```
@interface DemoAppDelegate : NSObject <BWQuincyManagerDelegate> {}
```

In your appDelegate change the invocation of the main window to the following structure

// this delegate method is required
- (void) showMainApplicationWindow
{
    // launch the main app window
    // remember not to automatically show the main window if using NIBs
    [window makeFirstResponder: nil];
    [window makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
}


- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)note
{
  // Launch the crash reporter task
  [[BWQuincyManager sharedQuincyManager] setSubmissionURL:@"http://yourserver.com/crash_v200.php"];
  [[BWQuincyManager sharedQuincyManager] setDelegate:self];
}

The Mac version is NOT compatible with the Mac App Store Sandbox requirements any more!
Done.

BRANCHES:

The branching structure follows the git flow concept, defined by Vincent Driessen: http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/

Master branch:

The main branch where the source code of HEAD always reflects a production-ready state.
Develop branch:

Consider this to be the main branch where the source code of HEAD always reflects a state with the latest delivered development changes for the next release. Some would call this the “integration branch”.
Feature branches:

These are used to develop new features for the upcoming or a distant future release. The essence of a feature branch is that it exists as long as the feature is in development, but will eventually be merged back into develop (to definitely add the new feature to the upcoming release) or discarded (in case of a disappointing experiment).
Release branches:

These branches support preparation of a new production release. By using this, the develop branch is cleared to receive features for the next big release.
Hotfix branches:

Hotfix branches are very much like release branches in that they are also meant to prepare for a new production release, albeit unplanned.

Dependencies

Server

Web server supporting PHP 5.0+ and MySQL.

Mac OS X

Requires Max OS X 10.5+

iOS

Requires iOS 4.3+ (Starting version 2.1.9 armv6 is not supported any more!)

ARC Support

If you are including QuincyKit in a project with Automatic Reference Counting (ARC) enabled, you will need to set the -fno-objc-arc compiler flag on all of the QuincyKit source files. To do this in Xcode, go to your active target and select the "Build Phases" tab. In the "Compiler Flags" column, set -fno-objc-arc for each of the QuincyKit source files.
