Improvements

• Handled Exceptions in Objective-C

The tvOS agent now exposes an API on the NewRelic object:

+recordHandledException:(NSException* _Nonnull)exception attributes:(NSDictionary* _Nullable)attributes.

Passing a caught exception to this API will record details as a MobileHandledException event and record the thread details of the exception. This information will be available in the new UI for handled exceptions.

A new feature flag is available, NRFeatureFlag_HandledExceptionEvents. This toggles the generation of MobileHandledExceptions events and auxiliary data. It is enabled by default

Fixes

• Fixed memory leak introduced by NSURLSession instrumentation.

Fixes

• Fixes crash in WKWebView instrumentation caused by a nil WKNavigation object being passed to the web view delegate methods.

Fixes

• Removed URL parameters from MobileRequest and MobileRequestError events. The concern being there may be confidential information contained in these parameters.
