Restart the app automatically after a crash

Feature Requests - Platform and API

  • Feature Description:

The app should be restarted automatically after a crash

  • impact for my app: [low, mid, high, show-stopper].
    High

  • What is your current pain point?
    My app suffer from crashes at GEP level: is a memory leak somewhere in overwolf.games.events.onNewEvents.addListener but is not reproducible. Is probably due to my custom game events implementation.

  • What do you have in mind to solve it?

Add a manifest flag “restart_on_crash” to control this behaviour and dont impact the current behaviour where the app doesnt restart after a crash.

When the app crash, restart it and make possible the app knows the new start reason (with a source parameter or a specific querystring parameter so it can be tracked also a app level on Google Analytics)

This request is urgent, for me. I’m going to release a feature soon that relying on my app always open during the gameplay or the user will lost his progress.
