Overview
Sentry Cocoa is the official Sentry SDK for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS. It captures errors and crashes and can add tracing, view hierarchy, network context, and other telemetry to investigate production issues.
Features and best fit

Key features
Initialize early in the application lifecycle and capture errors or crashes
SentrySDK.start configures the DSN and options and can be called early in application startup. The SDK also exposes explicit APIs for capturing messages and errors.
Sources: [2]
Enable tracing, view hierarchy, async stack traces, and related telemetry as needed
Version 9.30.0 stabilizes options for view hierarchy, Time To Full Display, Swift async stack traces, GraphQL operation tracking, FileManager swizzling, and more. Many remain disabled by default so applications can opt into the telemetry they need.
Sources: [4]
Best fit
Fits teams that need device and runtime context for production iOS issues
It is useful for centralizing crashes, errors, and performance issues with release and device context when production failures are difficult to reproduce locally.

Supplemental curator note
Sentry Cocoa fits iOS teams that need device and runtime context for production crashes, errors, and performance issues. CocoaPods support has ended, so current integrations should use SwiftPM or XCFrameworks.
Try it in 3 steps
- 1
Add Sentry Cocoa 9.30.0 with SwiftPM
Pin the source-build package and link the SentrySPM product to the application target.
.package(url: "https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-cocoa", exact: "9.30.0") - 2
Initialize Sentry during application startup
Start the SDK as early in the application lifecycle as recommended by the README.
import Sentry SentrySDK.start { options in options.dsn = "___PUBLIC_DSN___" options.debug = true } - 3
Capture a test message
Send an explicit message event to verify the application is connected to the Sentry project.
SentrySDK.capture(message: "Sentry integration check")
