PLCrashReporter is an open-source in-process crash reporting library for iOS, macOS, and tvOS written in Objective-C. It detects crashes and generates detailed reports including stack traces, register state, and backtraces for all active threads.
Use cases
- capture crash reports in an iOS app
- collect stack traces when my macOS app crashes
- debug unexplained crashes on tvOS
- get backtraces for all threads on crash
- generate crash reports without private APIs
- symbolicate crash reports for iOS
When to choose
- you need reliable, battle-tested crash reporting on Apple platforms using only public APIs
- you want accurate stack unwinding via DWARF and Apple Compact Unwind data
- you need a library that doesn't interfere with lldb/gdb debugging
When to avoid
- you need crash reporting for Android or Windows
- you want a hosted crash analytics service out of the box (use App Center or similar)
- your minimum deployment target is below iOS 12 / macOS 11.5
