xCode device logs not populating after application crash

Question

I'm getting a crash on my iPad 2 when building my Corona SDK app with a distribution profile, and putting it on my device via a USB cable. I'm testing a bug that happens when the internet is not connected (not sure if relevant). When the app crashes, the devices window's output stream states that it's storing a crash report (http://pastebin.com/Qa3BeaJ2), but then the crash never shows up when I push the "view device logs" button. When I push that button, I get an error message. Is resolving this the secret to getting my crashes to show up in the device logs?

Thanks!

UPDATE: It's now 10 PM. I've been checking the device logs throughout the day...and I just NOW got an update from 5:46 PM. What the hell? It's extremely short, and says:

have you try restarting your device? – Assimilate

Yes, unfortunately with no luck. I just two minutes ago I got a crash from 5 hours ago, though, strangely enough. It's extremely short. See the update in my question. – Seem

Referencing from your update. that is not an actual crash log. see if this: #24485317 helps you. – Assimilate

@Assimilate I don't really understand what's in that link that can help me -- I've tried plugging and unplugging the iPad, and I'm not looking for the console logs. I know where those are, and I see them. Am I missing something? – Seem

I'm seeing the same problem – Hockey

OK, I was able to populate my crash. Here's how I did it:

• Synced the device with iTunes
• Opened ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/< Device Name >
• Found a folder named Retired (no idea why or what this is)
• Inside was my crash log named blah.blah.beta
• Added a .crash extension
• Dragged it into Xcode's View Device Logs window

Holy crap! It worked. Once. Then I had to go through the whole process again when I wanted to see a new crash log. Is there any way to get it to auto-populate all the time? Maybe it happened because I added a space into my device name? There were two folders in my MobileDevice folder -- one of them like MyDevice, the other like My Device. What do you think? – Seem
