Xcode 5.0 Doesn't Symbolicate Crash Log

Question

I have a submitted iOS app and I have the build archive with me. So, I took the crashes from iTunesConnect but when I tried to symbolicate them (dragged the .crash files to Xcode Organizer they didn't get symbolicated. I also pressed the Symbolicate button.

I am using Xcode 5.0, and I am pretty sure that the crashes that I am symbolicating came from the correct version of the build archive that I have.

Any ideas of why it doesn't work?

Thanks!

Here's one of the crashes.

Answer 1

I had the same problem and for me it was due to the name I had given the Xcode application.

I was still working on production code in 4.6 when the GM version of 5 came out. Prior releases had DPn appended but the GM was called "Xcode" so I renamed it to "Xcode 5". That space was my problem.

Looking in the console log and expanding [symbolicatecrash] stderr: I found the following line after it started looking for my app's symbols:

sh: /Applications/Xcode: No such file or directory

Renaming the application to "Xcode5" and hitting re-symbolicate immediately symbolicated the crash log.

That may not be your exact problem but it's certainly worth expanding that stderr: section in the console log and looking for any errors related to fetching the symbol file for your app.

Answer 2

In my case checking the consol log for [symbolicatecrash] stderr showed nothing specific. I restarted Xcode and checked the consol for error entries generated by Xcode. There were several entries mentioning problems with the keychain. One of my certificates was missing.

I requested new certificates from Xcode by going to: Preferences>Accounts>View Details

Xcode detected there was a missing certificate and provided the option to submit a request. After going through that process, Xcode was able to re-symbolicate from the Organizer Window as expected.

Answer 3

Make sure that your Xcode application name doesn't contain any spaces. This was the reason it didn't work for me. So /Applications/Xcode.app works, while /Applications/Xcode 6.1.1.app doesn't work.
