Are there any crash logs generated by iPhone Simulator?

the Simulator crashes a lot but not leaving any traces in Console... the crash log will be useful.

The console will show the NSLog() output from an app running in the simulator. The crash logs are saved to file.

I have found some in my home directory under

~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/

They have a file extension of .crash

Something I haven't yet figured out is how to get them to generate even if the debugger grabs the EXC_BAD_ACCESS signal.

Update

Currently, (OSX 10.11.6), the .crash logs in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports, are when the emulator itself crashes. Logs for an app crashing (but the emulator device is still running fine), are in:

~/Library/Logs/CoreSimulator

Per crash, there is a sub-folder with a unique id. Sort by date, so that your recent crash is the first sub-folder. Inside that, start by looking at stderr.log and system.log.

Also directly under CoreSimulator, see CoreSimulator.log and Simulator.log.
