Crash Reports for older app versions

I have previously used third party tools to gather crash reports, but decided to do some research into what has changed in the crash logging tools that Apple provides us with.

"Reading the description, I came across the following sentance: "Apple provides a service that allows you to download crash reports for the most recent app versions and builds that you distribute using TestFlight or the App Store."

I was hoping I could get clarification that indeed we only are supplied with crash reports for the current version of a given app, and are unable to get crash reports for older versions of an app. I'm hoping to be able to know if an old version of an app has started crashing, so this would be a large limitation for my needs.

Hello shawntminus5,

Thanks for your post. When open the Xcode Crashes Organizer (https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/recipes/xcode_help-crashes_organizer/AboutCrashesOrganizer/AboutCrashesOrganizer.html) do you see the version of the app that you're curious about? You can find the different versions of your app by clicking on the Crashes tab in the organizer and selecting your app from the left-most list of apps. After you've selected your app you should see some thing like this - "App Store > Version 2.5" - at the top of a list of crash points. From there you can select the app version you're curious about. You should then see the top crashes that have been occuring in reference to the selected app version.

If you do not see this or if you believe there is a problem with the data please file a bug report (http://bugreport.apple.com) and paste the bug report Radar number on this forum thread. We will take a look and follow up.

Best,

Chris
