Shake iOS SDK

Shake is a dedicated bug reporting tool for mobile apps. Whenever a tester notices a bug, they can just shake their device and report it instantly, without ever leaving your app. Each bug report comes supplemented with various data points like location, storage, OS and others. These reports all arrive to your web Dashboard, where they can be organized with tags and found quickly using search.

Step 1: Install Shake

Cocoapods

Not using CocoaPods yet? Follow their brief installation guide, then run pod init in the root of your project.

Next, add Shake to your Podfile.

Objective-C

pod 'Shake'

Swift

use_frameworks! 
pod 'Shake'

Then, run the pod install command in your terminal.

Since CocoaPods might not always download the latest version of an SDK when using pod install, it's recommended that you also run pod update Shake after the installation has completed, or whenever you'd like to update Shake.

Swift Package Manager

Select File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency

Enter the Shake repository url when prompted:

https://github.com/shakebugs/shake-ios

Choose the appropriate cloning details and optionally specify the exact Shake version or branch.

Click Finish to add the Shake package to your project.

Note: Shake is distributed as a binary framework. There is a known issue with SPM signing the binary packages which will pop up when running your app on the real device. The issue has been fixed in the Xcode Version 12.2 beta 3.

Temporary workaround

Select your app target, and add a new Copy Files phase to the Build Phases. Make sure to change the destination to Frameworks folder. ​ Add a new Run Script phase and paste the following script to force the deep signing of frameworks with your own identity.

find "${CODESIGNING_FOLDER_PATH}" -name '*.framework' -print0 | while read -d $'\0' framework 
do 
    codesign --force --deep --sign "${EXPANDED_CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY}" --preserve-metadata=identifier,entitlements --timestamp=none "${framework}" 
done

Manually

Visit Shake iOS SDK GitHub repo, click the green Clone button and then Download ZIP. Shake directory will be downloaded to your computer — drag-and-drop the Shake.framework folder into your project. Then select Embed & Sign for Shake.framework in Xcode General tab; Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded content (Xcode 11, Xcode 12).

Note: By not using a dependency manager like CocoaPods, you won't be able to use the simple pod update Shake command to always pull the latest version of Shake SDK into your app. Instead, you will have to repeat the the first step described in the above paragraph.

Step 2: Initialize Shake SDK

Initialize Shake in the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions callback of your AppDelegate. Replace your-api-client-id and your-api-client-secret with the actual values you have in your workspace settings.

Objective-C

In your AppDelegate.m:

#import "AppDelegate.h"
@import Shake;

@implementation AppDelegate
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    [SHKShake startWithClientId:@"your-api-client-id" clientSecret:@"your-api-client-secret"];
    return YES;
}
@end

Swift

import UIKit
import Shake

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
  func application(
    _ application: UIApplication,
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        Shake.start(clientId: "your-api-client-id", clientSecret: "your-api-client-secret")
        return true
  }
}

Note: Some of the Shake features use swizzling, so to avoid any kind of swizzling conflicts, we recommend calling Shake.start() before initializing all other frameworks.

Step 3: Build and run

Select Product > Run in the menu bar. This first run will automatically add your app to your Shake Dashboard based on your app bundle ID.
