[DISCUSSION] Report javascript exceptions with Firebase

[TroyStopera]

Here's my thinking:

A) Works great for Android, but I agree that causing a fatal error for iOS is not something that would be OK. No need to crash an app for a JavaScript error.

B) I definitely think it would cause too much clutter in the console. It may be harder to make sense of crashes reported like this.

C) This idea seems the most usable, but, some people may not want to use Storage for their crash files. I don't think I'd want to do so, but I'd be willing to if I had to.

I feel like all three options are less than ideal. I'd say B is the least ideal in my eyes. I don't like A causing unneeded crashes, but I almost equally don't like C using storage and events to create a makeshift system. However, in the end I think C is the most versatile and users could adapt their implementation to fit their needs.

Would it be feasible to offer both option A and C somehow? Maybe users could use option A for critical errors that couldn't really be recovered from, and other errors could use option C. Not saying it's a great idea (having two simultaneous systems to monitor bugs would be irritating), just brainstorming.

I sent a feature request and got a response back from Google. Basically a lot of people have requested this so hopefully we'll see non-fatal crash reporting on iOS soon, which would solve this issue
