I would just like to point out that SCR is not needed to send crash reports to third party developers. Our product ShutterBug scans for a crash log on start up and asks the user if they would like to send a crash report back to us.

By just checking the Library/Logs/CrashReporter directory any app can detect if a crash log exists (ie. the app crashed the last time it was run). There is no need to install an Input manager without asking permission from the user.

All of this is stated right in Apple's developer guide -

http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2004/tn2...

"There is currently no way for third party developers to access the reports submitted via CrashReporter. Apple is aware that there is strong demand for such a facility (r. 3356232). Regardless, your users can still submit crash logs to you manually. Moreover, there's no reason why your application couldn't look at its crash log on each launch and, if it has changed, ask the user whether they want to submit it to your bug tracking system."
