How to retrieve crash logs from Windows Phone 8 programmatically?

Question

I have a WP8 App where I want to store the crash logs if and when generated. Is there any way of fetching the crash dump file from Windows Phone 8 programmatically?

Answer 1

As far as I know, you can't retrieve the crash dumps that are automatically sent to the DevCenter. However, what you can do is subscribing to the global unhandled exception event handler, store the exception contents in the isolated storage, then do whatever you need with it (like sending it to a remote server). That's what many applications do, and it's even automated by some libraries (such as Telerik).
