not a problem just enable "god mode" capability with driver start.

capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.GOD_MODE, "true");

@Vishnu, If this is done by appium, then i m sure all developers would use Appium and validate *.apk or *.ipa before releasing for testing. So in such case, why company would hire QA/Tester ??
Bottom line is Appium is not Nostradamus that can predict crash point of your Application.

lol...i understand that..Seems u haven't understood my question..I asked whether there will be any bug report or error log appearing in eclipse or appium server logs if there is a bug...

It says GOD_MODE cannot be resolved or is not a field.

it is all depends on your code!
- if you want to tap some element but it is not visible than after timeout test will stop any execution on this line.
- if you want to check some text of element is correct you need manually do this in code e.g. with "assertTrue("this test is failed", string_1.equals(string_2))"

You can monitor your logcat or enable NSLOGs, appium has capabilities. But you need to write code to do so.
