Reading this today, and probably embarking on a Xamarin solution very soon (the other possibility is "going native" with just Android, using Android Studio), I got to wondering:

Can ELMAH be used in Xamarin solutions?

And, in fact, if the road less taken (Android Studio) is chosen, what tool is there for Android/Java projects that that most closely resembles ELMAH's advantages?

It does:

  1. Although the Elmah.IO NuGet's latest release doesn't support Xamarin.Forms cross-platform logging, I have used it in my Android/iOS/UWP projects' exception handling separately by following instructions here.

  2. Here you can find out descriptions about the pre-release elmah.io for Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms.

No. ELMAH is very specifically targeted for ASP.NET.

Error/crash logging solutions for Xamarin include Raygun, Crashlytics, and TestFlight.

  • Do you recommend any of them? Which, if any, do you use? – B. Clay Shannon-B. Crow Raven Mar 27 '14 at 15:48

    I use TestFlight for deployment, but haven't used any of them for exception logging. Tool recommendations are generally considered Off Topic on SO – Jason Mar 27 '14 at 16:11
  • If you're looking for an officially supported crash reporting plugin for Xamarin, Crittercism just released one (Disclaimer: I'm one of the co-founders). You can download it from the Xamarin store here: http://components.xamarin.com/view/crittercism – crittercismrob Jul 25 '14 at 05:33
  • You can use Xamarin.Insights http://insights.xamarin.com/ for catching up your error logs. – SoftSan Aug 05 '15 at 16:30
