Xcode 5.0 Doesn't Symbolicate Crash Log

Question

I have a submitted iOS app and I have the build archive with me. So, I took the crashes from iTunesConnect but when I tried to symbolicate them (dragged the .crash files to Xcode Organizer they didn't get symbolicated. I also pressed the Symbolicate button.

I am using Xcode 5.0, and I am pretty sure that the crashes that I am symbolicating came from the correct version of the build archive that I have.

Any ideas of why it doesn't work?

Thanks!

Here's one of the crashes.

Tortious

Do you get any error messages? (look in Console.app). – Duenna

Thanks for the reply. Here's what the console says, tinypic.com/m/fyo67r/3 – Tortious

I don't see any errors in those log entries. – Duenna

Thanks! Do you have any idea? By the way, I was using Xcode 4.6 before and it was working then I installed Xcode 5.0 without deleting and/or replacing the Xcode 4.6. – Tortious

I think it must be a bug in Xcode 5. There have been other questions about this knocking about. You might have to use the command line (lldb or atos). – Duenna

I tried atos and I believe that results were not accurate. Thanks for the help! :D – Tortious

How about providing some more information like posting the crash report before and after so we know what is getting symbolicated and what is not. It is impossible to give an explanation without knowing what the actual issue is. – Massingill

This is not the full crash report. Please post the full report if you want to get specific help. – Massingill

Answer 1

I had the same problem and for me it was due to the name I had given the Xcode application.

I was still working on production code in 4.6 when the GM version of 5 came out. Prior releases had DPn appended but the GM was called "Xcode" so I renamed it to "Xcode 5". That space was my problem.

Looking in the console log and expanding [symbolicatecrash] stderr: I found the following line after it started looking for my app's symbols:

sh: /Applications/Xcode: No such file or directory

Renaming the application to "Xcode5" and hitting re-symbolicate immediately symbolicated the crash log.

That may not be your exact problem but it's certainly worth expanding that stderr: section in the console log and looking for any errors related to fetching the symbol file for your app.

Same thing. You'd think spaces in names was a solved problem by now. – Jibe

Where is the expandable stderr thing mentioned in the answer? – Fulmer

For me, this was not the issue. This solved it for me: #20715803 (final solution, i.e. move Archives out of Library) – Mischance

The same problem and solution. – Keeleykeelhaul

Answer 2

In my case checking the consol log for [symbolicatecrash] stderr showed nothing specific. I restarted Xcode and checked the consol for error entries generated by Xcode. There were several entries mentioning problems with the keychain. One of my certificates was missing.

I requested new certificates from Xcode by going to: Preferences>Accounts>View Details

Xcode detected there was a missing certificate and provided the option to submit a request. After going through that process, Xcode was able to re-symbolicate from the Organizer Window as expected.

What if I don't have any accounts? – Cremona

Answer 3

Make sure that your Xcode application name doesn't contain any spaces. This was the reason it didn't work for me. So /Applications/Xcode.app works, while /Applications/Xcode 6.1.1.app doesn't work.
