Crash Report Meaning - ios

I just got a crash report from Crashlytics of my app on AppStore.. the crash report is as follows..

Can anyone explain what it is?? cause its not giving anything…
Let me know if anything else is needed..
thanks in advance

All what you can see in this crash dump is that there was an uncaught exception which caused the application to terminate. You would need to look at the stacks of the other threads to get a clue. Also the rest of the crash report is important to see what actually caused the crash.
The crash reporting provided by apple usually contains a lot more details as just a stack. And the link provided by jnix (Demystifying iOS Application Crash Logs) is for sure a good help analysing such logs.
Nevertheless, often it's necessary that you can reproduce a crash in XCode to find out the actual reason for a crash.

Abnormal main.m crash

In my iOS app, I keep getting crash reports like this one.

The strange thing is that none of this exists within my code except for the main.m. All other threads in my application don't have anything related to either. This crash appears to only happen for a fraction of a percent of my users, so I am not sure where to even start looking.
The question as it is formulated right now is not answerable, because it is missing necessary information. See e.g. this tutorial for an explanation of how to obtain a real backtrace and how to obtain a "crash reason". Without following the recommended steps for debugging crashes every crash of an iOS-app looks exactly the same as the crash you just provided.
In order to get a real/useful backtrace, you need to set an exception breakpoint in Xcode.

Mysterious iOS crash with tiny stack trace

I have one user, and only one user, that regularly gets the following crash:
Thread : Crashed: com.apple.main-thread

8 libdyld.dylib 0x0000000193453aa0 start + 4
This is the entire crash, and I have no clue what causes it.
The user has a pretty standard phone, but it only started happening when they got a replacement iPhone 5 earlier this year. Given that timeline and the fact they are the only one with the crash, might the phone itself be at fault?
Is there anywhere I could look for more information to default this information?

How can I debug this crash log

I get this crash log from my device log after that my app is crashed. Before crash I clicked on cancel button from search bar inside UITableView.
How can I understand what and where is the problem ?
how can I debug this kind of log from production device?

The crash happened because of an unhandled exception.
While symbolicating the crash report with the Xcode organizer usually helps, it doesn't help in this case, since stack frame 13 will only show something like main (main.m:14).
If the crash report doesn't contain an Last Exception Backtrace section, the report is basically meaningless.
Try to reproduce the crash while running the app with the debugger or integrate a 3rd party crash report solution that is able to provide the Last Exception Backtrace and also the Application Information section which gives you the detailed exception error.
There are many 3rd party solutions out there, I won't recommend any, since I would be biased :)
Update: As you now provided the Last Exception Backtrace it shows that there is an Assertion triggered when a tableview animation is ending. Once you symbolicates the crash report you'll see which lines of code in your app are causing this.

_UIDelayedPresentationContext beginDelayedPresentation causing crashes on iOS

I have been getting rather strange crash reports from my live app with stack traces like the following:

This is rather mysterious because neither the main thread nor any of the other live threads in the reports seem to imply that this is caused by my code, though of course I am skeptical of this.
This seems to be a rather common crash according to the number of reports I receive from Crashlytics, yet I have not been able to reproduce it on my own devices. I suspect this is probably related to some memory management issues because the various crashes always end up being some bad pointers being sent messages.
This always happens on this thread and following the -[_UIDelayedPresentationContext beginDelayedPresentation]_block_invoke call. This is obviously a private class being referenced from within some Apple framework, however I am at a loss to figure out exactly which one could be calling this.
The app is an educational game and I suspect this could be related to the GameKit API (particularly the Game Center authentication dialogs).
All of these crashes have been happening exclusively on iOS 7 and on iPad only. The app is universal so it is interesting to see that iPhone users seem to be unaffected.
Does anybody have any previous experience with these private classes that could give me some hints?

In iOS, what caused this crash?

I got a crash in my iOS app, but their has only a few messages, some like this.

I can't find what caused this crash, but it is the most frequently appears in my app. I am very anxious, does any one know something about it? Thanks a lot.
If you are able to reproduce this crash either by performing a certain task or just using the app long enough you could attach the debugger and set a breakpoint for [NSException raise]. This way you can figure out in what part of your application stuff is messed up, I used this in the past to figure out where a NSArray went out of bounds.. ( and I have like a dozen or more spread around all source files )
Secondly you should probably 'symbolicate' the crash report so you can follow the stack trace.. so you can figure out what method/class in your code is messing stuff up.
For see a crash callback, try add in your project this great feature:
CrashKit
This is a exception catcher
