Accessing crash logs on iPhones used for ad hoc distribution

Question

When using one\'s own iPhone for development it\'s easy enough to access any crash logs via XCode->Organizer->Crash Logs.

How does one access crash logs on another p

Answer 1

From Apple's Technical Note TN2151:

For applications that have been distributed using Ad Hoc or Enterprise methods, getting crash reports requires user cooperation. Specifically, the user will need to retrieve the crash report from the directory where it was copied by iTunes. 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\

is the user's login name for the computer. is the name of the iPod touch or iPhone, for example, "John's iPhone".

You are only interested in .crash files. The crash report's file name begins with the application name and contains date/time information. In addition, will appear at the end of the file name, before the extension.
