Hi, I'm working on a application which links against some cocoa libs, so is a cocoa app although not wrapped in a bundle. (The lib takes care of all the cocoa-ishness internally so my app ends up being more or less cross platform).
Whenever I get a crash the Apple Crash reporter pops up and claims some stuff is sent off to Apple. Now I don't really mind this - it's just annoying to have to click over to make it go away, so not like I am very concerned about sensitive info or anything. I never read the diag anyway, if the crash is non-obvious I just re-run it in gdb/lldb to see what's what. If apple want to get dozens of crash repports for 'davestestapp' then good for them. I've looked into ways to disable this, and so far I've found two ways: - "defaults write com.apple.CrashReporter DialogType none" Doesnt stop the dump from being written (or sent???) but at least stops the annoying diag. This appears to be permanant until I set it back to 'crashreport' - using launchctl to unload the reporter daemon all together. Setting survives until next login and requires a 'sudo' step. Now these can be made workable, but was wondering if there's a better way that isn't system wide or sticky beyond a development session - I can see myself forgetting to re-enable it. So is there an environment var or something else I can do on app launch to disable crash reporting for that instance? Do debuggers/XCode do anything special? Alternatively, is there something I can do in code - may I get around this by catching the signal and crashing in some other way, so as not to poke the reporter daemon, etc? Finally, I do often run the app from as a rule from a build system I have full control over, so if there is something that can be done when exec'ing the binary, this will also be acceptable.
