I am getting infrequent crashes from my source code project. I couldn't find out the exact reproducible steps though i have tried to reproduce so many times. During dubug on the device is becoming very hard to reproduce it, because it happens somewhere and sometimes. Is there any logs printing while crashing the device (or) any other tools/way to find out exactly where could it happen, in iPhone Xcode development?
Thanks and Appreciate your help on this.
Here is my app latest crash: Can someone find any reason?

Best Answer
You should be able to get a crash log.
In the crash log, you'll have a stack trace of what was happening when the application crashed.
Look through the stack trace for the last thing you were doing. The last thing in the trace will likely be within a framework method that you call, so trace the call back to your code and use that as the starting point.
Once you know where in your code the crash occurred, try to think of what might have caused the crash. If you're having trouble seeing what might have caused the crash, post the line that lead to the crash (along with the surround code) here and we might have some insight as to what caused it.
If you're also looking for resources on what Xcode has to offer to debug, have a read of the Xcode Debugging Guide.
