How to find the crash-log for an iPhone App
If the App you are testing crashes, a well-designed App will record information within a crash log. This information can be invaluable to the developer responsible for the App. This log file contains information regarding what the App was doing before it crashed. The log files are copied to your Mac/PC when you sync your iPhone. Do the following to locate the log files;
1) Sync the iPhone
2) Locate the following folders. Note that DEVICE_NAME will be the name if your iPhone as shown in iTunes.
Mac OS X : /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice//
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter\\
Windows Vista: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\\
3) Each log file will begin with the name of the application.
