Crash Reporting Settings

Branch: feat/crash-reporting-settings Merged into: develop Date: March 2026

Overview

Added a user-controlled toggle for crash reporting in Settings → Privacy → Segnalazione Errori, and introduced automatic opt-in for developer accounts. Previously, crash reporting was gated by a SharedPreferences flag but there was no UI to change it.

Why It Was Built

The observability system sends automatic error reports to Supabase, but users had no way to opt out from within the app. GDPR and good UX practice require that automatic data collection is disclosed and controllable. Additionally, developer accounts need reporting always on to surface issues during testing.

What Changed

crash_reporting_notifier.dart (new)

class CrashReportingNotifier extends AsyncNotifier<bool> {
  @override
  Future<bool> build() async {
    final prefs = await SharedPreferences.getInstance();
    return prefs.getBool('feature_crashReporting') ?? false;
  }
 
  Future<void> setEnabled(bool enabled) async { ... }
 
  Future<void> initDefaultForEmail(String? email) async {
    // If first time and email is in developer list, default to true
  }
}

Developer emails that auto-enable:

const _defaultEnabledEmails = {'elia-c@outlook.it'};

auth_notifier.dart

AuthNotifier now accepts Ref to access providers:

AuthNotifier(this._repo, this._ref) : super(const AuthState());

After initialize() and login() succeed, it calls:

await _ref.read(crashReportingProvider.notifier).initDefaultForEmail(email);

This sets the default on first login for developer accounts without overriding an explicit user choice.

privacy_settings_screen.dart

New “Segnalazione Errori” section with a reactive toggle:

ref.watch(crashReportingProvider).when(
  data: (enabled) => _buildToggleRow(
    title: 'Segnalazione Crash',
    subtitle: 'Invia report anonimi degli errori',
    value: enabled,
    onChanged: (v) => ref.read(crashReportingProvider.notifier).setEnabled(v),
  ),
  ...
)

The toggle reads from SharedPreferences via the crashReportingProvider and persists immediately on change.

Architecture Notes

• crashReportingProvider is an AsyncNotifier<bool> because SharedPreferences.getInstance() is async. The UI uses .when() to handle the loading state gracefully.
• The preference key feature_crashReporting is shared with IssueReportService, which reads it before sending automatic reports.
• force: true in IssueReportService.reportIssue() bypasses this preference for manual user-submitted reports (the user already consented by clicking “Invia Report”).
