Introducing Fabric

  Introducing Fabric

Almost three years ago, we set out to solve the problem of mobile crash reporting. Since then, we’ve launched our deeply technical, award-winning crash reporting service, and with Twitter, expanded our product line to include a white-labeled beta distribution tool and our real-time mobile analytics product. Our mission has been, and remains, to build the best mobile developer tools.

Today at Flight, we announced the evolution of all of this work: Fabric, a modular mobile platform that makes it easy to build great apps.

We’ve thought long and hard about how to deliver great solutions to address the challenges developers face. The Crashlytics team, together with teams at Twitter and MoPub, have developed Fabric. It’s exactly what we hoped to build back when we started the company.

Fabric is modular, so you pick just the features — we call them kits — you want. If the Crashlytics Kit is the one you need for your app, you can easily add just that one. Crashlytics customers will recognize the Fabric interface: it’s based on our existing IDE plugins but with a fresh new look. You’ll even see the same familiar dashboard.

Read more about the Fabric features and individual kits on the Twitter developer blog.

What’s next

In the coming weeks, we’ll be rolling out Fabric to current Crashlytics customers. We’ve worked to make the upgrade experience very simple for you. If you’re interested in exploring the other kits (Twitter and MoPub), they are easily accessible in the new plugin.

As with all our launches, your experience and feedback is critical to us. Write to support@fabric.io to let us know your thoughts. We really want to build the tools that you love to use.

Onward,
