Best practices
- Your vitals metrics affect your user experience and the promotability of your app on Google Play. Ensure that someone on your team is accountable for monitoring them and keeping them below bad behavior thresholds
- Monitor your Android vitals metrics in the way that works best for your organization and workflows. Use Play Console, or set up programmatic access to vitals data through the Play Developer Reporting API
- Check if your development team is symbolicating or obfuscating code (which is a best practice for reducing app size and also has security benefits) and providing the associated files to Play Console. This is essential for your crashes and ANRs to show up correctly in Android vitals so that your engineers can troubleshoot
- Ensure your app is best in class by comparing your metrics with peers
- Stay on top of new and emerging performance issues by setting up alerts
- Link your Play app with your Crashlytics app to see Play Track information in Crashlytics. We've also realigned our issue naming in Android vitals with Crashlytics so you can easily match information across the two
- Understand how smooth and fluid their game feels to users with a new Android vitals metric called "slow sessions"
- Utilize low memory kills (LMK) in Android vitals to give you insight into memory constraints that can cause your game to crash.
- Quickly spot critical issues impacting users with the new prioritized quality issues view in the release dashboard.
- Reduce battery drain and improve user experience by monitoring the new excessive wake locks metric in Android vitals.
