How to symbolicate crash log Xcode?

Question

Xcode 5 organizer had a view which would list all the crash logs. and we could drag drop crash logs here. But since Xcode 6, I know they have moved devices out of organize and have a new window for the same. But I do not find a place where I view the crash logs which i drag-dropped in Xcode 5 after upping to Xcode 6. Anybody knows the answer ?

Answer 1

For me the .crash file was enough. Without .dSYM file and .app file.

I ran these two commands on the mac where I build the archive and it worked:

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

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTFoundation.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash  /yourPath/crash1.crash > /yourPath/crash1_symbolicated.crash

Answer 2

You can refer this one too, I have written step by step procedure of Manual Crash Re-Symbolication.

Crash Re-Symbolication

STEP 1

Move all the above files (MyApp.app, MyApp-dSYM.dSYM and MyApp-Crash-log.crash) into a Folder with a convenient name wherever you can go using Terminal easily.

For me, Desktop is the most easily reachable place ;) So, I have moved these three files into a folder MyApp at Desktop.

STEP 2

Now its turn of Finder, Go to the path from following whichever is applicable for your XCODE version.

Xcode 8, Xcode 9 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTFoundation.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash

Xcode 7.3 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTFoundation.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash

XCode 7 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DTDeviceKitBase.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash

Xcode 6 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DTDeviceKitBase.framework/Versions/A/Resources

Lower then Xcode 6 Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DTDeviceKitBase.framework/Versions/A/Resources

Or Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DTDeviceKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources

Copy symbolicatecrash file from this location, and paste it to the Desktop/MyApp (Wait… Don’t blindly follow me, I am pasting sybolicatecrash file in folder MyApp, one that you created in step one at your favorite location, having three files.)

STEP 3

Open Terminal, and CD to the MyApp Folder.

cd Desktop/MyApp — Press Enter
export DEVELOPER_DIR=$(xcode-select --print-path)

 — Press Enter

./symbolicatecrash -v MyApp-Crash-log.crash MyApp.dSYM

 — Press Enter

That’s it !! Symbolicated logs are on your terminal… now what are you waiting for? Now simply, Find out the Error and resolve it ;)

Happy Coding !!!

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.

Follow these steps in Xcode 10 to symbolicate a crash log from an app build on the same machine:

1. Inside Organizer, locate the archive where the app is based on.
2. Click on the Download Debug Symbols button. Nothing will appear in your Downloads folder, but that's OK.
3. Connect the build machine to an iOS device.
4. Select the device in Devices and Simulators.
5. Click on the View Devices Logs button.
6. Drag-and-drop the crash file to the left panel. The file must end with a .crash extension, otherwise the drag fails.
7. Switch to the All Logs tab.
8. Select the added crash file.
9. The file should automatically symbolicate, otherwise use the right-click context menu item Re-Symbolicate Log.
