Perhaps:

	provide some way to provide the dSYM files as a download;

	if possible, find something to symbolicate the crash dumps, using the build that crashed and the dSYM files for them, so we can turn a less-helpful unsymbolicated crash dump into a much-more-helpful symbolicated crash dump, showing line numbers.
