Supported Ionic Platforms

Ionic 2 & 3 are fully supported, the latest version of Ionic that was tested is v3.6.1.

Getting Started

Start by creating a HockeyApp account and register your app with the service.

Install the official HockeyApp plugin by running this command:

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-hockeyapp@latest

Install ionic-hockeyapp

npm install ionic-hockeyapp --save

Add the HockeyApp provider to app.module.ts

import { HockeyApp } from 'ionic-hockeyapp';
 
providers: [
  HockeyApp
]

How to use

After following the Getting Started guide. Import HockeyApp provider into your class and call HockeyApp. Start the HockeyApp Service in app.component.ts

import { HockeyApp } from 'ionic-hockeyapp';
import { Platform, App } from 'ionic-angular';
 
constructor(..., app:App, hockeyapp:HockeyApp) {
  platform.ready().then(() => {
    // The Android ID of the app as provided by the HockeyApp portal. Can be null if for iOS only.
    let androidAppId = '9e49aeddaa96488891f0a46b52b27618';
    // The iOS ID of the app as provided by the HockeyApp portal. Can be null if for android only.
    let iosAppId = '7ea7b82b9b6e4366a8c8dd57e07b2743';
    // Specifies whether you would like crash reports to be automatically sent to the HockeyApp server when the end user restarts the app.
    let autoSendCrashReports = false;
    // Specifies whether you would like to display the standard dialog when the app is about to crash. This parameter is only relevant on Android.
    let ignoreCrashDialog = true;
 
    hockeyapp.start(androidAppId, iosAppId, autoSendCrashReports, ignoreCrashDialog);
 
    //So app doesn't close when hockey app activities close
    //This also has a side effect of unable to close the app when on the rootPage and using the back button.
    //Back button will perform as normal on other pages and pop to the previous page.
    platform.registerBackButtonAction(() => {
      let nav = app.getRootNav();
      if (nav.canGoBack()) {
        nav.pop();
      } else {
        nav.setRoot(this.rootPage);
      }
    });
  });
}

After starting HockeyApp, import into pages, providers, and components and you are good to go.

import { HockeyApp } from 'ionic-hockeyapp';
 
constructor(..., private hockeyApp:HockeyApp) {
  this.hockeyApp.trackEvent('Hello World');
}
