How to symbolicate crash log with Xcode 8?

Question

I should have the symbolicate from my device. I followed the instruction from http://jmillerdev.net/symbolicating-ios-crash-files-xamarin-ios.

I created the alias for Xcode 8

alias symbolicate="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTFoundation.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash -v"

I updated the developer directory

export DEVELOPER_DIR="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer"

and then the symbolicate

symbolicate -o "symbolicatedCrash.txt" "MyAppName 2-12-14, 9-44 PM.crash" "MyAppName.app"

but I have an error

Symbolicating myInventories170313.crash ... while reading myInventories170313.crash, No such file or directory : at /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTFoundation.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash line 899.

Try giving it the full path to "myInventories170313.crash". – Geophagy

Answer 1

Try using these steps:

1) create a new folder ,lets say "Universe" , to hold the stuff.

2) use the Go to Folder utility from Finder . Use the path /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTFoundation.framework/Versions/A/Resources/

Find "symbolicatecrash" file and you can manually copy and paste this file to your Universe folder

3) Place your crash and Archive of your app in your folder ( Archive will hold all the dysm files. Alternatively you can place all your dYsm files )

4) CD to your "Universe" folder directory . Now run this command

export DEVELOPER_DIR="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer"

5)run the symbolicate command on your crash

./symbolicatecrash myCrash.crash > SymbolicatedM.crash

Voila!! you have your symbolicated crash log.

PS : The added advantage of this is that the above setup is a one time setup and is reusable .All that is required is just replace your crash file and dysm file , then just repeat step 5 each time you want a new crash symbolicated. Bye bye complicated commands!

It should be noted that you need to pass in a dsym that's generated from the same commit that the crash log came from. You can do this with the flag --dsym=/path/to/dsym – Lamoreaux

Answer 2

• Try connecting a device.
• Then select Xcode->Devices->View logs.
• Drag the crash log into the left pane, you can re-symbolicate right clicking on the crash log.

did you tried? I'm sure its working, could you please recheck – Eggcup

Yes, you forgot to mention to add the dysym logs to Xcode. However i could only achieve partial symbolize. – Madrigalist

I just connected device and took device logs , from the window resymbolicated. NO other files required, no other steps also – Eggcup

Ok i should mention that I'm not the developer of the project and I don't have the code. I got the logs from apple console. – Madrigalist

In my case, I have to change the file extension to .crash because the file sent from App Review had .txt as an extension – Side

This only partially symbolicates it. For me, it only worked on 1 thread. – Eldreda

"re-symbolicate right clicking" made all the difference for me !! – Footer

Answer 3

We had the same issue here and we got this solved with a mix of Vkharb and Enrico responses.

• In the same folder, we included our dsym file (symbols) and crash report correctly renamed to whatever.crash
• Then, open terminal and type the next commands:

1. alias symbolicate="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTFoundation.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash -v"

2. export DEVELOPER_DIR="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer"

3. symbolicate whatever.crash > SymbolicatedM.crash

And you should see the progress with a final report completed.

Thanks but symbolicated.crash is not actually symbolicated it looks same as unsymbolicated one.Any ideas ? – Purdum

It's really late, but: for some reason I had to use "download debug symbols" button from xcode's organizer for corresponding build. Before that only standard library was symbolicated, after that - my own app was too. @RajanM hope it helps – Katlaps
