[![Community Plus header](https://github.com/newrelic/opensource-website/raw/main/src/images/categories/Community_Plus.png)](https://opensource.newrelic.com/oss-category/#community-plus) # New Relic Flutter Agent [![Pub](https://img.shields.io/pub/v/newrelic_mobile)](https://pub.dev/packages/newrelic_mobile) This agent allows you to instrument Flutter apps with help of native New Relic Android and iOS agents. The New Relic SDKs collect crashes, network traffic, and other information for hybrid apps using native components. ## Features * Capture Dart errors * Network Request tracking * Distributed Tracing * Future errors tracking * Capture interactions and the sequence in which they were created * Pass user information to New Relic to track user sessions * Screen tracking via NavigationObserver * Capture print and debug print statement as CustomEvents * Capture Offline Events and Exception ## Current Support: - Android API 24+ - iOS 10 - Depends on New Relic iOS/XCFramework and Android agents ## Requirements - Flutter ">= 2.5.0" - Dart ">=2.16.2 <4.0.0" - [IOS native requirements](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/mobile-monitoring/new-relic-mobile-ios/get-started/new-relic-ios-compatibility-requirements) - [Android native requirements](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/mobile-monitoring/new-relic-mobile-android/get-started/new-relic-android-compatibility-requirements) ## Installation Install NewRelic plugin into your dart project by adding it to dependecies in your pubspec.yaml ```yaml dependencies: newrelic_mobile: 1.0.8 ``` ## Flutter Setup 1. Now open your `main.dart` and add the following code to launch NewRelic (don't forget to put proper application tokens): ```dart import 'package:newrelic_mobile/newrelic_mobile.dart'; var appToken = ""; if (Platform.isAndroid) { appToken = ""; } else if (Platform.isIOS) { appToken = ""; } Config config = Config(accessToken: appToken, //Android Specific // Optional:Enable or disable collection of event data. analyticsEventEnabled: true, // Optional:Enable or disable reporting network and HTTP request errors to the MobileRequestError event type. networkErrorRequestEnabled: true, // Optional:Enable or disable reporting successful HTTP requests to the MobileRequest event type. networkRequestEnabled: true, // Optional:Enable or disable crash reporting. crashReportingEnabled: true, // Optional:Enable or disable interaction tracing. Trace instrumentation still occurs, but no traces are harvested. This will disable default and custom interactions. interactionTracingEnabled: true, // Optional:Enable or disable capture of HTTP response bodies for HTTP error traces, and MobileRequestError events. httpResponseBodyCaptureEnabled: true, // Optional: Enable or disable agent logging. loggingEnabled: true, //iOS Specific // Optional:Enable/Disable automatic instrumentation of WebViews webViewInstrumentation: true, //Optional: Enable or Disable Print Statements as Analytics Events printStatementAsEventsEnabled : true, // Optional:Enable/Disable automatic instrumentation of Http Request httpInstrumentationEnabled:true, // Optional : Enable or disable reporting data using different endpoints for US government clients fedRampEnabled: false , // Optional: Enable or disable offline data storage when no internet connection is available. offlineStorageEnabled:true ); NewrelicMobile.instance.start(config, () { runApp(MyApp()); }); class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { .... ``` 2. Alternatively, you can manually set up error tracking and resource tracking. Because NewRelic Mobile Start calls WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized, if you are not using NewRelic Mobile Start, you need to call this method prior to calling NewrelicMobile.instance.startAgent. ```dart if (Platform.isAndroid) { appToken = AppConfig.androidToken; } else if (Platform.isIOS) { appToken = AppConfig.iOSToken; } Config config = Config( accessToken: appToken, analyticsEventEnabled: true, networkErrorRequestEnabled: true, networkRequestEnabled: true, crashReportingEnabled: true, interactionTracingEnabled: true, httpResponseBodyCaptureEnabled: true, loggingEnabled: true, webViewInstrumentation: true, printStatementAsEventsEnabled: true, httpInstrumentationEnabled:true); // NewrelicMobile.instance.start(config, () { // runApp(MyApp()); // }); runZonedGuarded(() async { WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized(); FlutterError.onError = NewrelicMobile.onError; await NewrelicMobile.instance.startAgent(config); runApp(MyApp()); }, (Object error, StackTrace stackTrace) { NewrelicMobile.instance.recordError(error, stackTrace); }); ``` AppToken is platform-specific. You need to generate the seprate token for Android and iOS apps. ## Screen Tracking Events In order to track navigation events you have to add the NewRelicNavigationObserver to your MaterialApp, WidgetsApp or CupertinoApp. You should provide a name to route settings: RouteSettings(name: 'Your Route Name'). The root route name / will be replaced by root "/" for clarity's sake. ``` dart import 'package:newrelic_mobile/newrelic_navigation_observer.dart'; //.... MaterialApp( navigatorObservers: [ NewRelicNavigationObserver(), ], // other parameters ) ``` ## GoRouter Instrumentation When using the go_router[https://pub.dev/packages/go_router] library, the automatic routing instrumentation can be enabled by adding an instance of NewRelicNavigationObserver to your application's GoRouter.observers: ``` dart //.... import 'package:go_router/go_router.dart'; import 'package:newrelic_mobile/newrelic_navigation_observer.dart'; final router = GoRouter( routes: ..., observers: [NewRelicNavigationObserver()], ); ``` ### Android Setup 1. Add the following changes to android/build.gradle: ```groovy buildscript { ... repositories { ... mavenCentral() } dependencies { ... classpath "com.newrelic.agent.android:agent-gradle-plugin:7.2.0" } } ``` 2. Apply the newrelic plugin to the top of the android/app/build.gradle file:: ``` groovy apply plugin: "com.android.application" apply plugin: 'newrelic' // <-- add this ``` 3. Make sure your app requests INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions by adding these lines to your `AndroidManifest.xml` ``` xml

After header fields have been added using this function, if the headers are in a network call they will be included in networking events in NR1. ```dart NewrelicMobile.instance.addHTTPHeadersTrackingFor(["Car","Music"]); ``` ## Manual Error reporting You can register non fatal exceptions using the following method with Custom Attributes: ```dart try { some_code_that_throws_error(); } catch (ex) { NewrelicMobile.instance .recordError(error, StackTrace.current, attributes: attributes); } ``` ## Troubleshoot No Http data appears: Problem After installing the Flutter agent and waiting at least 5 minutes, no http data appears in New Relic UI. Solution If no http data appears after you wait at least five minutes, check you are not overriding HttpOverrides.global inside your flutter app. ## Uploading dSYM files Our iOS agent includes a Swift script intended to be run from a build script in your target's build phases in XCode. The script automatically uploads dSYM files in the background (or converts your dSYM to the New Relic map file format), and then performs a background upload of the files needed for crash symbolication to New Relic. To invoke this script during an XCode build: 1. Copy the dsym-upload-tools folder from this repository: https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-ios-agent-spm, to your projects SRCROOT folder first. 2. In Xcode, select your project in the navigator, then click on the application target. 3. Select the Build Phases tab in the settings editor. 4. Click the + icon above Target Dependencies and choose New Run Script Build Phase. Ensure the new build script is the very last build script. 5. Add the following lines of code to the new phase and replace `APP_TOKEN` with your iOS application token. 1. If there is a checkbox below Run script that says "Run script: Based on Dependency analysis" please make sure it is not checked. ### Flutter agent 1.0.2 or higher With the ios agent 7.4.6 release, the XCFramework no longer includes the dsym-upload-tools. You can find the dsym-upload-tools in the dsym-upload-tools folder of the https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-ios-agent-spm Swift Package Manager repository. Please copy the dsym-upload-tools directory into your application source code directory by copying the XCFramework into your project or using Cocoapods if you're integrating the New Relic iOS Agent. Use the run script below in your Xcode build phases to perform symbol upload steps during app builds in Xcode. ``` 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" ``` #### Note: The automatic script requires bitcode to be disabled. You should clean and rebuild your app after adding the script. ### Missing dSYMs The automatic script will create an `upload_dsym_results.log` file in your project's iOS directory, which contains information about any failures that occur during symbol upload. If dSYM files are missing, you may need to check Xcode build settings to ensure the file is being generated. Frameworks which are built locally have separate build settings and may need to be updated as well. Build settings: ``` Debug Information Format : Dwarf with dSYM File Deployment Postprocessing: Yes Strip Linked Product: Yes Strip Debug Symbols During Copy : Yes ``` ### Configure app launch times To measure app launch time, you can refer to the following documentation for both [Android](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/mobile-monitoring/new-relic-mobile-android/install-configure/configure-app-launch-time-android-apps/) and [iOS](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/mobile-monitoring/new-relic-mobile-ios/configuration/app-launch-times-ios-apps/) platforms. ## Support New Relic hosts and moderates an online forum where customers, users, maintainers, contributors, and New Relic employees can discuss and collaborate: [forum.newrelic.com](https://forum.newrelic.com/) ## Contribute We encourage your contributions to improve newrelic-flutter-agent!
