This has been driving me nuts for two days. I have an app live in the App Store and have downloaded my crash reports to Xcode Organizer, but they aren't symbolicated (thanks Apple). I've tried various fixes to symbolicate them from reading other threads and forums, but no luck.

My last resort seems to be manual symbolication using the symbolicatecrash tool, but I am a total noob with command line and need some help.

I have my original build which I uploaded to the App Store, and from that I have retrieved MyAppName.app.dSYM and MyAppName.app files. I have also located the .crash reports

From what I've read, that should be enough to symbolicate the crash reports. So could someone please walk me through the steps required to get this working? I've got as far as placing the .dSYM, .app and .crash files in a directory and opening up Terminal - now I'm stuck (feel free to talk to me like I'm a 7 year old!)

Edit:

After managing to run symbolicatecrash, I get the following output which seems to signify an error (note I replaced my app name with MyApp and obviously this is only some of the output from the console, ie the part with the error messages):

  • I had same issue , i am able to symbolicate using [this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/30431450/1597744) . Have you triedit? – Toseef Khilji Dec 09 '15 at 12:39

  • @Viruss mca Thank you, that link was helpful (not sure how I missed it!) and I have now been able to run symbolicatecrash. But it didn't symbolicate the report - instead I got some error messages that I've edited into my question above. – Eatton Dec 09 '15 at 14:38

I gave up trying to make this work and instead uploaded my crash report to Hockey App: http://support.hockeyapp.net/kb/client-integration-ios-mac-os-x/how-to-manually-upload-and-symbolicate-a-crash

It was painless and the whole process of joining Hockey App, uploading my build, dSYM file and crash report took 10 minutes. Almost immediately I was reading a symbolicated report with a stacktrace that made sense.

In the future I will use Hockey App in my apps for crash reporting.

Why can't you be like this Apple?!
