PLCrashReporter - How to symbolicate crash data in-process?

问题

Is there a way to symbolicate the crash reports after we get the crash data?

Currently, this is what I'm doing in handleCrashReport method;

PLCrashReportTextFormat textFormat = PLCrashReportTextFormatiOS;

    /* Decode data */

    PLCrashReport *crashLog = [[PLCrashReport alloc] initWithData: data error: &error];
    if (crashLog == nil) {
        NSLog(@"Could not decode crash file :%@",  [[error localizedDescription] UTF8String]);
    } else {
        NSString* report = [PLCrashReportTextFormatter stringValueForCrashReport: crashLog withTextFormat: textFormat];
        NSLog(@"Crash log \n\n\n%@ \n\n\n", report);

        NSString *outputPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent: @"app.crash"];
        if (![report writeToFile:outputPath atomically:YES encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil]) {
            NSLog(@"Failed to write crash report");
        } else {
            NSLog(@"Saved crash report to: %@", outputPath);
        }

    }

When i print this out on console; I get this.

Application Specific Information:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'This should crash the application.'

I want to symbolicate in-process If this is possible. Any ideas?

Thanks much in advance.

回答1:

You can symbolicate the crash report in process, this requires three things:

You should do that on then next app start only.
You need the app symbols to be part of the binary, which increases its size by 30-50%
You will not get line numbers.

The latest version of PLCrashReporter is able to do that, but I would not recommend it and rather symbolicate it using the dSYM because it is way more helpful.

回答2:

PLCrashReporter provides a configuration option to symbolicate on the device

  PLCrashReporterConfig *config = [[PLCrashReporterConfig alloc] initWithSignalHandlerType: PLCrashReporterSignalHandlerTypeBSD symbolicationStrategy: PLCrashReporterSymbolicationStrategyAll];
PLCrashReporter *crashReporter = [[PLCrashReporter alloc] initWithConfiguration:config];

However, there are 2 reasons why symbolication with DSYM is better:

the documentation recommends not to use this feature for a release version
The symbolication is not as good as the one using DSYM and the debug symbols of the system frameworks. You will get a lot of '' lines.

To symbolicate a crash report on your development machine you can do this (Make sure that the original binary and the dsym file are in the same directory and that you have the debug symbols for the iOS version mentioned in the crash report):

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DTDeviceKitBase.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash MyCrash.crash
