Crash by API

Sentry experienced widespread app crashes caused by a Facebook SDK issue, where the SDK tried to hit an API endpoint but crashed immediately due to a nil object reference. The problem was resolved through a server-side change, but highlights the need for developers to handle invalid data from APIs and prevent similar issues in their own code. To prevent such crashes, developers can implement defensive programming techniques, such as error handling, schema validation, and retry mechanisms that avoid blind retries during global outages.
