How can I get a crash report from a Jailbroken application running on my device?

My application is designed for jailbreak devices. It compiles and works great mainly in the iOS simulator, but it works instantly the moment I open it on my device. Again, this is a Jailbroken application, so I cannot get crash logs in the same way as registered developers can do. Is there a way to get crashlog for my application, although I am not a registered iOS developer? It drives me crazy because I have been working on it for 3 months now and I don't want to stop because of something like that.

Oh, if that matters, I am "Signing fake code" using the method described here , but only this particular application crashes, I tested it by creating a dummy application that just shows a shortcut, and it doesn't crash at all.

Install OpenSSH in Cydia, then ssh into your device and go to /var/mobile/Library/Logs/CrashReporter . Here you will find all crash logs.

Another way to diagnose the problem is to install syslogd enabler from Cydia. This will allow syslog to be used in / var / log / syslog. You can control this in the same way as if you controlled the Mac OS X console. Be sure to remove the syslogd tool if you are not using it, as syslog can become quite large after a while. You can also set syslogd toggle for SBSettings to easily enable and disable syslogd.

@ edc1591 the answer is still correct, but just for the sake of completeness, I would like to add another answer for those who are looking for more information. There is a package in Cydia, CrashReporter , which offers an easy way to access the crash logs on the device (they can be emailed using the app). Additional benefits of its use include:

  • Failure Logs Already Marked
  • Syslog is also included (assuming the package was installed before the crash)

This is very useful for collecting crash reports for tweets from users who do not want to install or use OpenSSH. There is a very good explanation of how to use the application here: http://tweakcrashed.com/

An open source project .
