atos and dwarfdump won't symbolicate my address

Question

I received a crash report via AirBrake.io that isn\'t symbolicated. Since the crash report is not in exactly the same format as an Apple crashlog I can\'t just drop it on XC

Answer 1

First of all check if the dSYM is really the correct one for that app:

dwarfdump --uuid kidsapp.app/kidsapp
dwarfdump --uuid kidsapp.app.dSYM

Both should return the same result.

Next check if the dSYM has any valid content

dwarfdump --all kidsapp.app.dSYM

This should give at least some info, other than not found.

I guess that the dSYM is corrupt. In general you might want to use a crash reporter that gives you a full crash report with all threads and last exception backtrace information. I recommend using something based on PLCrashReporter, e.g. QuincyKit (Open Source SDK + Server + symbolication on your mac) or HockeyApp (Open Source SDK + Paid service + server side symbolication) (Note: I am one of the developers both!)
