Overview of Crashlytics and PlayVitals integration

The podcast episode discusses the integration of Crashlytics and PlayVitals into Android Studio. Crashlytics was integrated into Android Studio a year and a half ago, allowing developers to see and navigate crashes reported by their app. Similarly, PlayVitals also collects crash information, which can be seen directly in Android Studio. The key difference is that PlayVitals collects crash data regardless of whether Crashlytics is integrated into the app. The episode also mentions the future potential for app quality insights beyond just crashes.
