Sure:<br />Smart crash report (see <a href="http://daringfireball.net/2006/01/smart_crash_reports">presentation</a>)<br />Uli M. Klusterer's solution (see <a href="http://www.zathras.de/angelweb/sourcecode.htm#UKCrashReporter">here</a>)<br />Claus Broch's one <a href="http://www.infinite-loop.dk">ILCrashReporter</a><br />Martin Redigton one's (see <a href="http://www.mildmanneredindustries.com/blog/?p=48">here</a>)<br />The Open Source project Adium has also its own technology (see <a href="http://adiumx.com/">Adium project's home page</a>)<br /><br />And of course, we can't resist, ours is <a href="http://www.macosxguru.net/downloads/crashreports.zip">here</a>...<br /><br />Smart crash reports requires free registration to get the crash report to be sent to you...<br />Uli's one sends the crash report on "next launch"… (may be never of course…)<br />Martin Redigton's one has a lot of parameters to play with:<br /><ul><li>More informative: the information that can be collected includes contact information, user problem description, crash logs, log files, preferences, and the output of arbitrary commands<li>Highly configurable: the user interface and information to be collected can be configured via an xml configuration file.<li>XML property list default output to allow easy automatic processing of incoming crash reports<li>Extensible data collection architecture, so that you write plugins to collect specific diagnostics for your target application, if the existing types are not sufficient.<li>Extensible delivery mechanism, to allow you to tune delivery to your requirements.<li>"BugReporter" mode, that can be used to collect information for non-crashing bug reports in a standardised format.<li>Can handle multiple bug/crash reports at a time.<li>Reports can be saved for later delivery.<li>Fully localizable, to allow users to be asked for bug reports in their native language.</ul><br /><br />Ours is as powerfull as Martin Redigton's one, but requires a little bit more work from you: you have to (as an option) supply code inside your application to be debugged and a tool to add your own information and to do the actual reporting.<br />The counterpart of this small work (examples supplied) is of course a greater freedom regarding the content of the generated information and how and when to deliver it.<br />Two versions are supplied, one's installs as a daemon inside your application bundle and the other one is a static library to be linked into your application.<br /><br />Interesting link regarding exception handlers: <a href="http://www.wodeveloper.com/omniLists/macosx-dev/2000/June/msg00137.html">Mach Exception Handlers 101</a> Apple For Enterprise: Yes, Change Does Happen http://www.macosxguru.net/article.php?story=20070324111842846 Mar 23rd, 2007, Source: <a href="http://ce.seekingalpha.com">SeekingAlpha</a> <a href="http://ce.seekingalpha.com/article/30474">Article</a> US university dumps Windows to go all Mac http://www.macosxguru.net/article.php?story=20070317142642412 Pennyslvania university is replacing 1,700 PCs with 1,450 MacsDate:Friday, 16 March 2007, Source: <a href="http://www.macworld.co.uk/mac/news/index.cfm?newsid=17512">MacWorld</a>
