hi all,
i need to get crash logs programmatically when my application restarts after a crash. I know that if I enable a configuration given by apple, crashlogs are maintained in the device, which I can access using itunes / xcode. But i want to do it programmatically in my next app restart,
Thanks in advance for any help
regards
jniba

I target ios and android, as I have put the question in ios platform, I would first be ok with ios platform now.

There’s no supported way for an iOS app to get at its own crash logs.
Lots of folks work around this by using a third-party crash reporter. In my experience that’s a poor tradeoff, because third-party crash reporters have a tendency to fail when you need them most (that is, when dealing with the nastiest in-the-field-only crashes).

Is there any update to get crash logs programmatically for iOS system, since many update released by apple.

Is there any update to get crash logs programmatically for iOS system …
No. My recommendation here is that you:
Use the built-in crash reporter, rather than some third-party crash reporter
Access crash reports via iTunes Connect

You can use PLCrashReporter. I have been using this for many years now and it does seem reliable. Here's the link if you want to explore:
https://www.plcrashreporter.org.Hope it helps.
While I’m not going to comment on specific third-party products, my general advice is that you stick with the Apple crash reporter. Building a third-party crash reporter that’s reliable, binary compatible, and sufficient to debug complex problems is essentially impossible. See Implementing Your Own Crash Reporter for more on this.

three years ago and it was accurate at that time. Since then, however, we’ve introduced MetricKit, which gives you on-device programmatic access to many metrics, including crash reports.
And now I’m off to update Implementing Your Own Crash Reporter to mention that (-:

Here's an example of getting the crash logs from code with MetricKit https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44023671/how-to-fetch-ios-crash-logs-programmatically/78438392#78438392
