iphone: Where the .dSYM file is located in crash report

Question

According to this page here if you have proper application binary and .dSYM file then it is easy to symbolic them. But where are .dSYM and application binary files located?<

Answer 1

If you have archived your project, you can find the dSYM file as above.

If you have build you project for a real device, you can also find the dSYM file by the following way:

• Go to Project Navigator, and find Products folder
• Right click the app, and choose Show in Finder.

  Make sure that the app is in black color, not red. Because red color means that you have not build the target for a real device.

• You can find the dSYM file with the same name with your app, in the same folder.

Before all of these actions, make sure you have configured the xcode build settings right, as follows:

• Generate Debug Symbols setting is enabled.
• Debug Infomation Format are set to DWARF with dSYM File.

Hope this will help.
