If you can deliver the user a different build of your app, you can use
NSExceptionHandler to log more detailed information about the exception. See
that class's documentation, including the conceptual guide, for more
information.
Another approach is to use DTrace. All thrown/raised exceptions from
Objective-C go through the objc_exception_throw function. So, a DTrace
one-liner like the following would print a stack trace for them:
sudo dtrace -n 'pid$target::objc_exception_throw:entry {ustack();}' -p <pid of
app process>
(Note that this may trace exceptions in addition to the one you're seeing
logged, if something is using exceptions internally.)
