EDIT :: XCode 4.3
You will want to follow the same steps as outlined in the original answer (below) with a few exceptions.
First, you need to fix the Xcode path. Open a terminal and run:
/usr/bin/xcode-select -print-path
If it displays "/Developer" or anything but "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/" then it is wrong. To fix this run the command:
sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/
You can now run all the steps below, with the exception that the symbolicatecrash
command is in a new spot (again). This is because Xcode now installs as an app. To find symbolicatecrash
run this from the terminal:
find /Applications/Xcode.app -name symbolicatecrash -type f
This should return:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DTDeviceKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash
Before running symbolicatecrash
you may wish to go to this directory like:
cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DTDeviceKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/
Original Answer :: Xcode < 4.3
Path for symbolicatecrash
Search from a terminal using:
find /Developer -name symbolicatecrash -type f
For me this returned:
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DTDeviceKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash
How to Manually Symbolicate a Crash Log
Run the symbolicatecrash
command with the crash log as the first argument and your dSYM file as your second argument. Note that if you will be running symbolicatecrash
from the current directory that you MUST put ./
in front like ./symbolicatecrash
unless your PATH environment variable includes the directory that the command resides in.
I changed to the directory that had the symbolicatecrash
command in it first (note: will be different for Xcode 4.3, see top):
cd /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DTDeviceKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/
Then I executed the following command:
./symbolicatecrash /somePath/MyCrashLogFile.crash /somePath/MyAppName.app.dSYM
How to Find the dSYM file:
You must have the archive that was used to create the build with the crash to get the dSYM file.
Here are the steps:
- Right click (or ctrl click) the archive from organizer and choose "Show in Finder".
- From the xcarchive file in finder, right click (or ctrl click) this file and choose "Show Package Contents". You will then see a "dSYMs" folder.
- Inside the "dSYMs" folder you will find "YourAppName.app.dSYM" file that you will need to symbolicate files.
