Crash logs

If you encounter a crash in the application, you can get your hands on crash reports which are useful to get the backtrace to the said crash. This is normally the most useful way to debug a crash.

There's two ways of getting crash logs. The first one you only need your phone and the second you need Xcode.

Get crash logs from iOS settings analytics

  • Open the iOS Settings
  • Navigate to Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements > Analytics Data
Privacy & Security Analytics & Improvements Analytics Data
  • Use the search function and tap in the name (i.e. in our case it's Client). You might have to scroll up to be able to see the search bar.

  • Select the desired log which in the screenshot is of format Client-2022-15-XXXXXX.ips
  • You can share by clicking the share button at the top of the opened log

Get crash logs from Xcode

  • Have your physical phone connected to Xcode.
  • Open the devices and simulator window under XCode menu Window -> Devices and Simulator.
  • Select your device in the side bar list.
  • Click on View Device Logs.
  • Sort by processes to find Firefox related logs.
