symbolicatecrash is unable to find any symbols

Question

I\'m running XCode 4.5.2 and am having problems getting symbolicatecrash to work.

Note that this is for an app and dsym that were NOT generated on my system, and aren\'t

Answer 1

I had the same problem today. In my case the mdfind was not able to search the Archives (/Users/xxx/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/) folder. So what I did was went to System Preferences->Spotlight->Privacy, added and then removed the Archives folder. Restart Xcode or Re-symbolicate

mdfind is used in symbolicatecrash to find dsym relative to the crash file with uuid in your case

mdfind "com_apple_xcode_dsym_uuids == E30FC309-DF7B-3C9F-8AC5-7F0F6047D65F"

you can also run

mdfind "com_apple_xcode_dsym_uuids == *"

to list all the dsym locations mdfind knows. This will give you the idea if your dsym is in the list or not

Also run this for your dsym to get uuid of ur app

dwarfdump --uuid xxx.app.dSYM/| tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | tr -d '-'
