What is crash log (.ips crash report)?

A crash log (an .ips file on modern iOS) is a structured report Apple generates when an app terminates abnormally, containing the stack trace, thread state, and termination reason. ArgusTest detects crashes automatically and makes the report available to your AI assistant, so it can analyze the stack trace the moment a crash happens.

Crash reports are the primary artifact for diagnosing a hard failure, but reading them by hand is tedious. An AI assistant with the report and a screenshot of the moment before the crash can often pinpoint the cause quickly.
