# getsentry/reaper-ios

A framework for detecting dead code at runtime - Reaper is an SDK added to your app to report which Swift and Objective-C types were used for each user session. It supports all classes written in Objective-C, most non-generic Swift classes, and some Swift structs/enums.

## Setup
