title: SIGSEGV SEGV_ACCERR Crash Reports - What to do?
body: <p>I've just released an app on the AppStore with <a href="https://www.crittercism.com">Crittercism</a> crash reporting and I've been getting quite a few crash reports pertaining to a SIGSEGV error. Crittercism gives me a StackTrace and a few handy details about usage statistics, etc. however, I'm still befuddled by these symbolized stack traces. I have a few questions in general about this kind of thing -</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Many of the classes and methods in the Stack Trace are not even used in my app (to my knowledge), which leads me to believe that these crashes are due to private APIs from Apple. Take a look at the Stack Trace near the bottom of this question.  <strong>How can I tell what's crashing my app if all of the methods and classes in the crash report are not directly implemented in my code?</strong></p></li>
  <li><p><strong>What do the <code>+</code> signs with numbers at the end of each line in the crashed thread stand for?</strong></p></li>
  <li><p>Most Q/A on StackOverflow that ask about SIGSEGV crashes say that they are caused by memory leaks or problems, <em>however</em> <strong>how can I have a crash because of a memory problem if I'm using ARC in my iOS project?</strong> Isn't ARC supposed to manage all of those things for me?</p></li>
  <li><p><strong>What should I do if I can't replicate the error / crash?</strong></p></li>
  <li><p>Is there any way to really <em>read</em> a StackTrace? IS there anything in general that would be helpful for understanding what is happening?</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Here is the StackTrace from the Main Thread Crash Report from Crittercism that this question pertains to:</p>
