XCode 3.2.3 won't symbolicate logs

Question

I'm working with the latest release of XCode (3.2.3), which is supposed to symbolicate all crash logs automagically as long as the dSYM archives and the application archive can be found by Spotlight.

I have saved archives of the application and dSYM files for all releases related to these crash logs. XCode's Organizer shows me memory registers and offsets. It is claiming to symbolicate the logs, but the logs are not getting symbolicated properly.

I have run mdfind in terminal to ensure that Spotlight can find the dSYMs for the applications that are generating crashes, and mdfind is able to find all the dSYM and app files.

Any pointers are appreciated! I've been trying to get things working all morning...nothing.

Answer 1

Just after lunch, I tried symbolicating using XCode 3.1 and it worked.

So here's the scoop - if you have an application that is compiled with XCode 3.2.3 & running on a device with anything earlier than iOS4, the XCode 3.2.3 Organizer will not symbolicate your logs.

You need to install XCode 3.2.1 (or probably 3.2.2) in order to get any symbolication.

And I just found out that XCode 3.2.1 will symbolicate my iOS4 crash logs as well.

Fun times!
