Provided I have .crash file and .dSYM file, this works.

  1. Preliminary

    Create a folder temp in ~/, path is ~/temp/
    Keep all files in ~/temp/ i.e. script, .ipa, .dsym and .crash (in fact .ipa is not needed)

  2. Go to ~/temp/

  3. Set path: If there are two Xcode's in system or paths not being set

    sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/ export DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode.app

  4. Create shortcut

    Alias symbolicateCrash /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DTDeviceKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash

  5. Get symbolication:

    atos -arch armv7 -o 'appname.app'.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/'appname' 0x0029c296
atos -arch armv7 -o 'appname.app'.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/'appname -l "binary image line of crash log"

    or 

    symbolicateCrash 'logname'.crash 'appname.app'.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/'appname'

  6. Still, if any issues? Still couldn't link with some not found, couldn't figure out exceptions.
    Downloaded script: external shell script (uploaded as 'symbolicatecrash')

./symbolicatecrash -v filename.crash

you should go with -->Xcode -- > Organizer--> Devices --> Device Logs :)

Here you can find crash log.... OR you can use TestFlight SDK for use see crash log of your testing teams Device....

  • That is when you are developing. But i guess it wont be applicable to the app released on app store. For such a case this works. – Venkatarao N Feb 25 '13 at 10:47
  • For testFlight yes it works only when you develoing the app......but xcode organiser method will works also for app store appss... – Anurag Dixit Feb 25 '13 at 10:52
  • You are saying opening .crash file with xcode organizer will symbolicate? Because once we distribute app on app store we cant access devices but somehow we can access crash report. – Venkatarao N Feb 25 '13 at 10:57
