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.

Try giving it the full path to "myInventories170313.crash". – Phillip Mills Mar 14 '17 at 12:56 — Phillip Mills, Mar 14 '17 at 12:56

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!

It should be noted that you need to pass in a dsym that's generated from the same commit that the crash log came from. You can do this with the flag `--dsym=/path/to/dsym` — Chris, Sep 15 '17 at 13:44

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.

did you tried? I'm sure its working, could you please recheck – Neha Vipin Nov 07 '17 at 05:39
Yes, you forgot to mention to add the dysym logs to Xcode. However i could only achieve partial symbolize. – htafoya Nov 07 '17 at 16:49

I just connected device and took device logs , from the window resymbolicated. NO other files required, no other steps also – Neha Vipin Nov 08 '17 at 07:53
Ok i should mention that I'm not the developer of the project and I don't have the code. I got the logs from apple console. – htafoya Nov 09 '17 at 02:08
In my case, I have to change the file extension to `.crash` because the file sent from App Review had `.txt` as an extension – Haroun SMIDA Nov 09 '17 at 07:44
This only partially symbolicates it. For me, it only worked on 1 thread. – Hedylove Mar 23 '18 at 20:59
"re-symbolicate right clicking" made all the difference for me !! – eharo2 Jun 13 '18 at 15:40

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:

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

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

symbolicate whatever.crash > SymbolicatedM.crash

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

Thanks but symbolicated.crash is not actually symbolicated it looks same as unsymbolicated one.Any ideas ? – Rajan M Jul 04 '18 at 12:31

It's really late, but: for some reason I had to use "download debug symbols" button from xcode's organizer for corresponding build. Before that only standard library was symbolicated, after that - my own app was too. @RajanM hope it helps – Fyodor Volchyok Jun 19 '19 at 18:00
