How to symbolicate crash log with Xcode 8?

Question

I should have the symbolicate from my device. I followed the instruction from http://jmillerdev.net/symbolicating-ios-crash-files-xamarin-ios.

I created the alias for Xcode 8

alias symbolicate="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTFoundation.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash -v"

I updated the developer directory

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

and then the symbolicate

symbolicate -o "symbolicatedCrash.txt" "MyAppName 2-12-14, 9-44 PM.crash" "MyAppName.app"

but I have an error

Symbolicating myInventories170313.crash ... while reading myInventories170313.crash, No such file or directory : at /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTFoundation.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash line 899.

Answer 1

Try using these steps:

1) create a new folder ,lets say "Universe" , to hold the stuff.

2) use the Go to Folder utility from Finder . Use the path /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTFoundation.framework/Versions/A/Resources/

Find "symbolicatecrash" file and you can manually copy and paste this file to your Universe folder

3) Place your crash and Archive of your app in your folder ( Archive will hold all the dysm files. Alternatively you can place all your dYsm files )

4) CD to your "Universe" folder directory . Now run this command

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

5)run the symbolicate command on your crash

./symbolicatecrash myCrash.crash > SymbolicatedM.crash

Voila!! you have your symbolicated crash log.

PS : The added advantage of this is that the above setup is a one time setup and is reusable .All that is required is just replace your crash file and dysm file , then just repeat step 5 each time you want a new crash symbolicated. Bye bye complicated commands!

Answer 2

• Try connecting a device.
• Then select Xcode->Devices->View logs.
• Drag the crash log into the left pane, you can re-symbolicate right clicking on the crash log.

Answer 3

We had the same issue here and we got this solved with a mix of Vkharb and Enrico responses.

• In the same folder, we included our dsym file (symbols) and crash report correctly renamed to whatever.crash
• Then, open terminal and type the next commands:

1. alias symbolicate="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTFoundation.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash -v"

2. export DEVELOPER_DIR="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer"

3. symbolicate whatever.crash > SymbolicatedM.crash

And you should see the progress with a final report completed.
