Really happy to see crashes finally getting reported properly through Xcode
now. I think a combination of the issues with Testflight and lack of users
were causing us problems before but looks like it's good now.  The more I
see Testflight working the more I question our Breakpad/crash-stats
integration. There seems to be some issues with it reporting correctly
still. There's currently a bunch of crashes showing up in Xcode but nothing
is showing up on crash-stats [1]. Also, using Breakpad is more
unconventional on iOS than other crash reporting options (such as
PLCrashReporter). The only product I know that is using it is Chrome and
documentation around iOS support is sketchy at best. The advantages I see
using crash-stats/Breakpad is the ability to control the data we send and
make use of the rich data analysis we get through crash-stats. Also, if we
plan on releases not through Testflight, we woudn't get the iTunes crash
reports.
