MonoTouch crash logs

I'm trying to ensure that the release build of my MonoTouch app will produce crash logs that I can use, but I'm unable to get any crash logs from the device. Here are the steps I'm taking.

  1. I put some code in my app that would force it to crash when the user touches the screen.

  2. I did a release build and verified that the .dSYM folder is next to the .app folder.

  3. I ran the app on my iPad and touched the screen to make it crash. The app exited instantly.

  4. I did a Sync in iTunes.

  5. I looked under Library\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice[devicename] and [devicename].symbolicated, but there is nothing under there.

I've tried two methods of making the app crash. First way:

SomeObject x = null;
x.SomeFunction();

Second way:

unsafe {
    short *p = (short*)0;
    for ( int i=0; i < 1000000; i++ )
        p[i] = 0;
}

Both methods cause the app to exit instantly, but neither is producing a crash log.

What am I missing here?

It appears that unhandled managed exceptions do not generate a crash log. Could you please file a bug at http://monotouch.net/Support so we can track and fix this issue?

In the mean time you could wrap your Main call in

try {
} catch {}

and log it somewhere and upload it to a web server you have or some such.
