CrashCatcher Icon CrashCatcher 2
A Non-Intrusive Runtime Utility for Objective-C Debugging

CrashCatcher 2 generates comprehensive reports on crashes and non-fatal exceptions for software under development in gdb. It then continues to watch for errors in beta-test and production software in the field. When an error occurs, CrashCatcher automatically sends a comprehensive report to the user's console or to an e-mail address specified by the system administrator.

CrashCatcher 2 provides developers with detailed diagnostic information that enables developers to improve the quality of their applications. Developers link CrashCatcher into their application and may use it with gdb. Then, when the application ships, CrashCatcher ships with it. In the event of a crash or exception in the user's hands, CrashCatcher automatically sends an e-mail message back to the developer (or system administrator). No user intervention is necessary. CrashCatcher provides debugging information that is impractical to obtain with gdb.
