Understanding the 'App Crashed' Event for Android Users
Where can I get more information about the Automatically Tracked Event App Crashed? I only receive it for Android (and not iOS) and I don't know why.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can explain why you're only receiving the "App Crashed" event for Android and not for iOS.The "App Crashed" event ($ae_crashed) is part of the legacy automatically tracked events in Mixpanel's mobile SDKs. However, there's a key difference between Android and iOS implementations: 1. For Android, the "App Crashed" event is listed among the automatically tracked events. You can find more information about this in the Android SDK documentation.2. For iOS, the "App Crashed" event is not listed among the automatically tracked events. You can see this in both the iOS (Objective-C) and iOS (Swift) documentation.This difference explains why you're only receiving the "App Crashed" event for Android and not for iOS. It appears that automatic crash tracking is not implemented in the same way for iOS in Mixpanel's SDK.It's important to note that Mixpanel doesn't recommend enabling these legacy automatically tracked events, as they can be unreliable. If you need crash reporting for both platforms, you might want to consider implementing a custom solution or using a dedicated crash reporting tool that integrates with Mixpanel.
