symbolicatecrash does not give me method names for my own functions

Question

Hey all,

Running into a weird issue using symbolicatecrash to debug crash logs. After I run symbolicatecrash with the .dSYM file of the build that crashed, it gives me function names for all of the Foundation classes, but not for my own app. Is there some setting in XCode that I may be missing? GENERATE DEBUG SYMBOLS is turned on to YES.

Thanks

I ran into similar issues. Try this. If it doesn't exactly fix your issue, it will send you in the right direction.

Answer 2

I had a similar problem which turned out to be caused by a bug in the symbolicatecrash script and the app name containing a period "." (e.g. my.new.app). This bug has been reported to Apple (rdar://8352458) and apparently can be solved with the following patch:

  214c214
  <     $executable =~ s/\..*//g;         # strip off the suffix, if any
  ---
  >     $executable =~ s/\.[^\.]*$//g;    # strip off the suffix, if any

The symbolicatecrash script file can usually be found at /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DTDeviceKit.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/symbolicatecrash.
