When an crash happens generally it is good practice to provide some information as to why it happened.
Some good information to provide from developers are:
Stack trace¶

Generated whenever your app crashes because of an error or an exception.

Try to filter the messages to show just the error messages when a crash happens.
Layout with Layout Inspector¶
- Tools > Layout Inspector, allows it to analyze the screen construct.

Be sure you have Developer Options enabled.
