Answer 1

A plugin is available for Xcode under the Product menu. This plugin is available through Alcatraz package manager or can be directly downloaded from github.

This plugin internally incorporates a shell script that does the set up of running the following commands for manual crash symbolication.

1. Set an alias to symbolicatecrash.pl perl script

alias symbolicatecrash='/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DTDeviceKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash'

2. To find symbolicatecrash, should it differ from the alias above:

find /Applications/Xcode.app -name symbolicatecrash -type f

3. Set the DEVELOPER_DIR variable:

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

4. With the dSYM the crash can be symbolicates as:

symbolicatecrash /path/to/MyApp_2012-10-01_Device.crash /path/to/MyApp.app.dSYM.
