[android-developers] Re: New crash reporting - is it a function of the phone or the app?

Hi, unfortunately I know my app is occasionally crashing (though only
rarely and only on Sony Xperia phones and only sometimes it seems) but
I am not seeing any crash reports in the Developer Console.

I do have my own crash reporting in place (based on
http://code.google.com/p/android-remote-stacktrace/) which is how I
know about the crashes as unfortunately my users are not reporting the
issues. However I would like to replace this with the Google version
if possible.

The app is compiled with the 2.2 sdk tools but against the 1.6 Android
lib. minSdk is set to 3 and targetSdk to 4.

So it appears that there ust be something I need to do to 'enable'
this feature. Do I need to recompile for the 2.1 or 2.2 lib? Or must I
set targetSdk to a later version? I can't really imagine a mechanism
that Google could have automagically enabled this without me
recompiling with a later library but I know people have suggested the
market app might have got an upgrade somehow.

Any thoughts please?
