Where Are iPhone Analytics and Crash Logs?
iPhone on-device Analytics Data logs plus synced crash reports on Mac and PC.
Last updated
iPhones keep analytics, crash and diagnostic logs on-device under Analytics Data in Settings, viewable and shareable without a computer. Each entry names the crashing process with timestamps.
Synced devices copy crash logs to the computer during backups. Developers symbolicate them in Xcode while owners just read the plain summaries.
Where iOS stores this, by platform
Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements > Analytics Data
On-device log list with per-crash entries shareable to developers. Synced copies land on Mac under ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice and in iTunes backups on Windows. No jailbreak needed to view or share them.
