How do I debug iOS app crashes?

[Andrew Henshaw]

You can also add the following to your top stack as it will catch a lot of the errors and give an idea as to where the issue is...

on errorDialog pExecutionError, pParseError
      if item 2 of line 1 of pExecutionError is 0 then 
             answer "An error occurred " & cr & cr &  pExecutionError
      else
             answer "An error occurred on line: " & item 2 of line 1 of pExecutionError 
      end if
end errorDialog
