Dynatrace provides comprehensive error and crash reporting for .NET MAUI applications. The native OneAgent automatically captures unhandled exceptions and platform-level crashes on both Android and iOS platforms.

Automatic crash reporting

When you configure the Dynatrace MAUI plugin, automatic crash reporting is enabled by default. The native agents capture crashes from the underlying Android and iOS platforms.

How it works

The native agents automatically capture:

Disable automatic crash reporting

Automatic crash reporting is enabled by default. If you prefer to disable it, you can configure it in the dynatrace.config.json file.

Android:

{
  "android": {
    "crashReporting": false
  }
}

iOS:

{
  "ios": {
    "DTXCrashReportingEnabled": false
  }
}

ANR reporting

Application Not Responding (ANR) errors occur when the main thread is blocked for too long. Dynatrace automatically captures ANR events.

What is captured

ANR events indicate that your app's UI became unresponsive.

Configuration

ANR reporting is enabled by default. To disable it in your dynatrace.config.json file:

Android:

{
  "android": {
    "anrReporting": false
  }
}

iOS:

{
  "ios": {
    "DTXANRReportingEnabled": false
  }
}

Manual error reporting

You can use the IAction.ReportError API to manually report errors in your application. This allows you to capture and send custom error information to Dynatrace.

Example

using Dynatrace.MAUI;

try
{
    // Your code that might throw an exception
    PerformRiskyOperation();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    // Report the error to Dynatrace
    IRootAction action = Agent.Instance.EnterAction("ParentAction");
    action.ReportError("Custom error occurred", -1);
    action.LeaveAction();
}
