Sentry Desktop Crash Reporter

A reference implementation of an external crash reporter for desktop applications using the Sentry Native SDK.

Features

• Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux thanks to .NET and the Uno Platform.
• User Consent: Gives the user explicit control over whether their crash data is sent.
• User Feedback: Allows users to add comments to the crash report.
• Crash Information: Displays crash details and stack traces from the attached memory dump.
• Attachments: Allows users to preview crash report attachments, such as screenshots.

Customize

See CUSTOMIZATION.md for instructions on rebranding the crash reporter with your own logo, colors, and window title.
