The document provides information about debugging mobile app crashes. It discusses how crashes can negatively impact apps by causing unhappy users and lower sales. Various examples of crash reports are shown for different platforms like iOS, Android, and Windows 8. Methods for collecting, viewing and symbolizing crash logs are described. Third party crash reporting services are listed that can help with crash monitoring, analytics and distribution. The conclusion emphasizes that debugging mobile apps requires a different approach than debugging web apps.

2. “Debugging is twice as hard as writing the
code in the first place. Therefore, if you
write the code as cleverly as possible,
you are, by definition, not smart enough
to debug it.“
Brian Kernighan
