The Kotzilla Platform's Automatic Kotlin App Issue Detection Feature Takes You Straight to the Issue

Kotlin devs spend too much time playing detective - trying to piece together what happened when an app crashes or slows down. You know the drill: manual tracing, digging through logs, attempting to reproduce performance issues, and trying to match user reports with actual events.

It's time-consuming, frustrating, and often feels like searching for a needle in a haystack.

From Automatic Detection to Resolution

The Kotzilla Platform now automatically detects app issues and provides you with the right contextual information, so you can focus on fast resolution.

The Kotzilla dashboard puts critical information front and center for each of your apps or SDK libraries.

Right after your app's health check, you'll see any issues that need your attention. No more navigating through multiple user sessions to find what's important - you get a clear overview of performance bottlenecks, complex dependency graphs, and crashes, along with their impact across different app versions and user sessions.

The platform automatically detects these types of issues:

• Startup performance issues: When the app takes too long to initialize, delaying the first usable screen.
• Background performance issues: Excessive resource usage or slow execution of background tasks, impacting responsiveness.
• Main thread performance issues: Tasks running on the main thread for over 100ms, potentially causing freezes or ANRs.
• Dependency performance issues: Inefficient resolution of dependencies slowing down app responsiveness.
• Dependency complexity issues: Dependency graphs with more than five child dependencies, increasing maintenance and performance risks.
• Child dependency performance issues: Individual dependencies taking over 5ms to resolve, causing cascading slowdowns.

If you need direct access to all issues or are looking for a specific issue in your mobile app or SDK library, the Issues View allows you to filter issues by date, type, version, and content.

A New Way to Investigate Root Causes

We've completely reimagined how you investigate app issues.

Instead of scrolling through events in specific user sessions to identify potential problems, you can now click any detected issue and jump straight to the affected user sessions to see the complete picture.

When you click on an impacted user session, you're instantly redirected to the relevant event or component in the Timeline view where the issue originated. Each issue is visually marked with flags in the timeline. You can then expand the tree to continue your investigation, drilling down into related events or dependencies as needed.

Think of it as your app's crime scene markers - they show you exactly where to focus your investigation. 

User Session Analysis That Actually Makes Sense

In addition to providing contextualized information about the issue, the Timeline view offers visual graphs that allow you to track component execution across different threads.

You can also filter events by category, content, and thread using full-text search, enabling you to quickly locate specific events or components.

What This Means for Your Daily Development

In practice, this means you can:

✅ Stop spending hours identifying issues - just click and see exactly what happened
✅ Catch performance problems before users report them
✅ Understand complex interactions between different parts of your app
✅Track down the root cause of issues in minutes, not hours

The best part? All of this happens automatically. There is no need to add special instrumentation or logging code. Just update your SDK, and you'll start seeing these insights in your dashboard.

We built these tools because we were tired of playing detective with our own apps. Now, instead of piecing together clues, you have a direct path to understanding and resolving issues. It's time to spend less time investigating and more time building great features.
