Monotouch Crashdump missing any reference to my code-Collection of common programming errors

I have an application written in monotouch and one (only one) of my user application is crashing. I did a symbolicate on the crash dump. I cant see any thing in the dump that points to any of my code:

Any suggestions on what I should do from here ?

thank Christian

  1. iOS crash log is not descriptive is some situations.

    Try to make your alternative to iOS crash reporting system:

    • Log user actions into memory;
    • Subscribe for UnhandledException event:
            // In AppDelegate.FinishedLaunching
            AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += (object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e) => {
                LogTool.SaveLog(e);
            };
    
    • When user next time run an app, check that log is not empty. If so, suggest user to send crash log to you via email (see MFMailComposeViewController class usage examples).

    Thus, you will get exact information you need to solve issues.
