[swift-users] intercept fatalError() or other termination messages from swift?

[David Baraff]

Ok, the data is for sure not there, or possibly i’m looking at the wrong thing. Here is what I see:

…

The stack trace continues for a while, then a list of binary images.  There is nothing that says "Application Specific Information”. Am I pulling the wrong data in xcode?  Is my app setup in a weird way that this is not reported?

This is doing the very simple “fatalError()” route in the main controller's viewDidLoad() routine.

Thanks for any insights.

If there is someway after the fact of, on an iPhone or iOS interogating the asl_log when you restart your program to glean the error message, i’m all ears.
