Retrieve crash logs
From Iphone
If an app crashes, please follow these instructions to collect your crash-log and forward it to your developer. Every developer is interested in collecting all crash-logs, as it is our goal to make sure that your app never crashes, and these are a great aid to that end.
- Sync your device using iTunes
- Navigate to your crash-logs folder
- Macintosh: Finder-browse to ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<DEVICE_NAME> (where ~ is your home directory)
- Windows-XP: Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter/<DEVICE_NAME>
- Windows Vista: Navigate to C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<DEVICE_NAME>
- Locate the crash log within that folder.
- Within the device's crash-logs folder, logs will be named for the app and the date/time. Example: myApp_2009-11-03-190004_My-iPod.crash
- NOTE: Sometimes, what appears to the a "crash" is the Operating System terminating the app due to LowMemory conditions. View your crash logs sorted by date/time, and there may be one called "Low-Memory-xxx" at the top of the list.
- Forward the crash log, along with any information you can provide that may help the developer do the same thing you did to create the crash.
