Unable to read symbols error

Question

I get these errors when I build and run for the device. Should I be worried about them? The app runs fine.

Answer 1

You probably turned off debug symbols in the build settings. They should be off for release but they are helpful for debuging.

Answer 2

Hmm. I get this as well, but only when testing on the iPhone or iPod touch. Also, for my Debug Target Config settings, "Generate Debug Symbols" is set. (Not much in the Xcode project was changed in terms of the build settings, and I suspect it wasn't in yours either ... ?)

By any chance do you have an objc_exception_throw breakpoint in play? I have these two in my global breakpoints group:

[NSException raise] (CoreFoundation)
objc_exception_throw (libobjc.A.dylib)

Perhaps there's a correlation?
