What's a reliable way to make an iOS app crash?

Question

I want to test my app\'s crash reporting out in the field by deliberately having it crash when the user performs a particular action that a real user is unlikely to do accid

Answer 1

in Objective-C use C directly to cause a bad access

strcpy(0, "bla");

Note: while this works on any system I know -- in a future version of the C runtime OR the compiler this might not lead to a crash anymore. see Is null pointer dereference undefined behavior in Objective-C?)

(in swift you would have to bridge to objC to do this)
