Handle crashing for shipping builds
Enable Include Crash Reporter
in the project settings
If you want to have a more detailed call stack, you need to include the debug symbols in your build, to do so enable Include Debug Files
.
More info on how to use symbols to read mini dumps in shipping builds while not shipping the debug symbols directly to the user. Time code (good for testing in a small environment)
