Xcode Crash Organizer does Not Symbolicate .xccrashpoint Files

Question

The new Xcode 7 \"Crashes\" tab in the organizer shows a handful of crashes from the AppStore for my app. According to the documentation, there should be a stack trace. Howe

Answer 1

You need to have the app's dsyms local. If this was a build uploaded from say, a build box, you won't have them. Head to App Store Connect, click the Activity tab, find your relevant build, and tap into it. The version details screen includes a link to download the dSYMs - do so, and expand the .zip file they download as.

Now back to your crashes in Xcode - they will symbolicate successfully.

Sanity tip: ensure your local source is at the same commit as the crashing release. Otherwise, if the source file has changed since the release, Xcode can dump you on the incorrect line. e.g. line 127 of your source has now moved to line 129 since you added two lines recently... and the crashes view has no idea about those changes. It'll show you line 127 crashing where the crashing code is actually on line 129.
