With just a few lines of code and a few extra files in your project, your app will automatically phone home whenever a crash or exception is encountered. These reports go straight to -Hoptoad (http://hoptoadapp.com) where you can see information like backtrace, -device type, app version, and more.

+To test that the notifier is working inside your application, a simple test method is provided. This
+method creates a notice with all of the parameters filled out as if a method, `crash`, was called on
the shared HTNotifier object. That notice will be picked up by the notifier and reported just like an
-actual crash. Add this code to your application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: to test the notifier:
[[HTNotifier sharedNotifier] writeTestNotice];
-The HTNotifierDelegate protocol allows you to respond to actions going on inside the notifier as well -as provide runtime customizations.
- -All of the delegate methods in the HTNotifierDelegate protocol are documented in the HTNotifier header -file. Here are just a few of those methods:
- -MyAppDelegate.h
- -#import HTNotifier.h
-
-@interface MyAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate, HTNotifierDelegate> {
