Running iPhone crash Logs from testers on XCode


When I'm running my app on my device using XCode and I have a crash it's easy tracking where it happened on code. However, when I deploy my ad-hoc version to testers and they have a crash, is there a way for me to load the crash on XCode as if it crashed on my computer, actually seeing the stack and the variable values ?

Thanks


Solution

  • As far as I know, there is no known method to obtain a full core dump file for iOS apps that you can later load on GDB.

    Are you already asking your testers to send you the crash logs? Read this otherwise: Understanding and Analyzing iPhone OS Application Crash Reports

    Basically:

    When the user synchronizes their device using iTunes, crash reports are copied to a directory on the user's computer. […] Depending on the platform, the directory is:

    Mac OS X: ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/

    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Apple Computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\

    Windows Vista or 7: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\
