Thanks Ricky. I'm actually looking for something that can be handled non-obtrusively from the user's perspective. For example, when the user has a crash have a dump file of recent "events" automatically written to a log file. On the next application launch, look for a dump file and if so, upload it to a URL for post processing by me.

Thanks.
Dave

No APIs needed for these first three:

(1) Instruments (specifically its User Interface instrument)

(2) Automater's record feature. This is really useful for apps that are accessible as it appears it uses the accessibility APIs to give nice names to your recorded items (e.g. Click the "Drills" button).

(3) PreFab browser can also tap into accessibility-savvy apps and allow you to create GUI scripts.


You can also just look into doing strategically placed NSLogs. Or, better yet, really dig into your crashes using the many different strategies of debugging. For example, perhaps you're trashing memory beforehand and that's why your crash stack-trace isn't that useful? Definitely look at NSZombie and friends for help in that area.
