Thanks! To clarify, I'm not talking about writing automated tests - just how I might manually spot-testing that an intentional crash in the appropriate spot (in my own local build) does indeed include annotations that I added nearby.
Right now I'm stuck at the "how do I get the crash reporter to show up" phase, which is maybe easy to address, but I'm also curious if this is the right sort of thing to do in the first place vs. if there are easier/recommended ways to preview the annotations that have been recorded.
