Question

We have a background process that scans 3rd party plug-ins and we don’t
won’t the crash messages to be shown.

We can’t control the machine in which our app is running so we can’t use

   defaults write com.apple.CrashReporter DialogType server

Is there a way for us to hide this annoying messages?

Thanks

If you need to suppress crash reports for a process, you can do so by clearing the task’s exception ports:

kern_return_t kret = task_set_exception_ports(
        mach_task_self(),
        EXC_MASK_ALL | EXC_MASK_CRASH,
        MACH_PORT_NULL,
        0,
        0);

Preventing the crash in the first place is obviously preferable, though. 🙂
