Description

We are proposing a new API to the Crash Reporting API specification that allows developers to supply their own key-value data to crash reports uploaded by the existing Crash Report API infrastructure. This helps developers more granularly pinpoint what in their application is causing a crash, by allowing them to capture specific app state in the crash reports themselves.

This depends on #456 and based on discussions with colleagues we haven't really found something workable for that thus far.

Gotcha, thanks for reporting back. Would it be possible to post something to #456 itself to the tune of what you said, just so the community has an idea of what isn't workable? If details cannot be posted, maybe just saying it's not workable right now for other reasons would be good, just to have some kind of update.
