What we're building

📊 Network Monitoring

We're very excited to release network monitoring to our Performance Analysis product, which will give users visibility into your app's network behavior.

This feature captures and displays all network activity during your test runs, making comparing network behavior between builds easier. You can now quickly identify all network requests made in a specific perf test and quickly analyze changes in network requests across builds. Network monitoring is currently an Android-only feature and opt-in feature. Get in touch with us if you're interested in using it!

📝 Configure Multiple Weekly Digests

By popular demand, you can now create multiple configurations for our weekly digests. This means you can create one digest for your Android team and another for your iOS. Or you could make a digest for every app you ship. You can do anything 🤠👍

🎨 New Module & Dependency Attribution UI

Last month, we introduced our new module and dependency attribution feature for Android. This month, we’ve updated the UI to show attribution details in our X-ray and Breakdown pages.

We introduced several improvements to Snapshots, such as pre-flight checks on Android, improved error-state UI, and a new UI to show the status of Snapshot shards.
