Symbolicating iPhone App Crash Reports
📱🔍 How to Symbolicate iPhone App Crash Reports 🔧😕
So, you've got crash reports from your iPhone app and you're looking to symbolicate them, huh? Well, fear not! 🙌 I've got you covered with easy solutions to this common problem. Let's dive in! 💥👨💻
To start off, make sure you have the following files at hand:
1️⃣ Crash Reports: Retrieved from iTunes Connect. These are essential for understanding the cause of the crashes. 2️⃣ Application Binary: The app binary that you've submitted to the App Store. This is necessary for properly symbolicating the crash reports. 3️⃣ dSYM File: This file is generated during the build process and is crucial for decoding the crash reports.
Once you have these files, follow these steps:
1️⃣ Place all the files that belong to the same crash report (crash report file, app binary, and dSYM file) in a single directory. This will make it easier to work with them.
2️⃣ Now comes the cool part! Open your Terminal and navigate to the directory where your files are located. You can do this by using the cd command followed by the path to the directory.
3️⃣ Once you're inside the directory, use the symbolicatecrash command to symbolicate the crash report. 🚀
For example, if your crash report is named crashreport.crash and your app binary is named myApp.app.dSYM, run:
symbolicatecrash crashreport.crash myApp.app.dSYM4️⃣ Hit enter and wait for the magic to happen! 🪄 The symbolicatecrash command will do its thing and hopefully provide you with a symbolicated crash report.
But hold on! 😲 What if the output of the symbolicatecrash command is the same as the original crash report? Don't panic, my friend! There might be a simple explanation for this.
First, make sure that the app binary and dSYM file you're using are indeed the ones corresponding to the version of the app that generated the crash report. If not, try using the correct files.
If you're still not getting symbolicated crash reports, there might be an issue with how your dSYM file was generated. Make sure you're generating it correctly during the build process. If it's not done properly, you won't be able to symbolicate your crash reports. 😩
Now that you're armed with the knowledge of symbolicat
