Let Apport catch crashes system-wide

Question

I want to let Apport catching all crashes - system wide - which means also crashes in programs which are located for example inside the HOME folder of a user and not part of Ubuntu packages. Is there any configuration option to realize this?

Silly example:

#include <stdio.h>
int main() { printf("%n%n%n"); return 0; }

make test && ./test

Will create a crash but Apport will not intercept it.

CrashReporter on MacOS is able to create a crash report for all executable files regardless of where they are located in the system.

I couldn't find anything in the documentation, but from reading the code I saw that you can enable crash reports for unpackaged binaries by creating a file called ~/.config/apport/settings with the content:

[main]
unpackaged=true
