Today, I just wake up and showing some twitter threads saying that the Crashlytics crash reporting is down due to a popular iOS SDK.
Here what Crashlytics itself is saying about this:
Due to a major increase in crashes across the iOS ecosystem caused by an issue with a popular iOS SDK, iOS crash processing in Crashlytics was disabled at 11:00 PM UTC. We are actively working to return processing to normal. Visit our status dashboard for the latest updates.

Cool, there’s a Facebook SDK issue crashing several high-profile apps right now. Great idea adding that social login, huh?

This is amazing: Facebook remotely bricks apps that use their SDK, and with it brings down the most popular iOS crash reporter for the first time in its history ? https://t.co/zFDLM4LXof
