You can wrap your UIApplicationMain in a try/catch:

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    int retVal;
    NSAutoreleasePool * pool;
    @try
    {
    pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, nil);
    }
    @catch(NSException* e)
    {
        NSLog(@"%@", e.reason);
    }
    @finally
    {
    [pool release];
    }
    return retVal;
}

You should also look up into setting an assertion handler while debugging: NSAssertionHandler.

Update: and also the unhandled exception handler: NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler
