Hey Brandon,
So I believe the default setting should be that the crashes will be
grabbed but only have the signature checked by default. So there is no
dialog. There was a bug that was causing some systems to show the
dialog, but I can't seem to find it. I'm cc'ing Evan as I'm sure he'll
know, perhaps you can contribute to that bug so that we can get this
fixed.
Thanks!
Ted
