Crashlytics iOS Documentation Issue [Legacy/New Build System, Last Build Script]

[stolyarenkokswing]

Problem Description:

Crashlytics documentation has a note in step 3 about fact that we need to be sure that the new run script will be run as the last build script.

Step 3: Initialize Crashlytics
Note: Make sure your new build phase is the project's last build phase or Crashlytics can't initialize properly.

We can guarantee this only with the Legacy Build System, but on New Build System this phase may not necessarily be the last one.

Conclusion:

If you have already updated the code and it works correctly on the New Build System, please let us know and update the documentation.

If the code does not work correctly on a New Build System, please indicate in the documentation that only the Legacy Build System should be used, since only in it we can guarantee that the script will be executed last.

Thanks for the heads up. The Crashlytics scripts should work correctly with the new build system, though the docs may need to be updated.

Ok, thanks for the quick response!
Then, as I understand correctly, if we provide input files and execute the necessary scripts on a new build system without taking into account the note in the documentation that the scripts must be executed last - everything will work correctly?

They really only need to be executed after the binary compilation is finished and the dSYMs have been generated, according to my knowledge.
