Summary

Crashlytics has enhanced native Android crash debugging by combining minidumps, which provide detailed symbolication for application code, with Android tombstones, which include on-device symbols for system libraries such as libc.so and libart.so. Because maintaining symbols for every system-library version across Android devices is impractical, tombstones collected by Crashlytics NDK SDK version 18.3.6 and later on Android 12 or newer supply valuable system-level context that minidumps alone cannot provide. Crashlytics now processes tombstones through its existing symbolication pipeline to restore application symbols, file names, and line numbers where possible, producing a more complete stack trace spanning both app and system frames. These paired views are available side by side in the Crashlytics dashboard and can also be exported to BigQuery, reducing the need for developers to manually retrieve or symbolicate raw tombstone data.
