dsym file

Do you think the reason I am unable to further symbolicate the .ips file is because I do not have the correct .dSym file? The Binary Images section of the .ips file is as shown below. Where is the required UUID? Can you tell me how to use dwarfdump to see if I have a .dSYM with the right UUID and how to use mdfind to see if it is visible to the symbolicator and what to do if it is not?

Hmmm, weird. The full crash report looks valid, but I can’t get frame 7 to symbolicate.if you know of common missteps on symbolication, I'd appreciate it.By far the most common problem here is a UUID mismatch. From the binary images section of your crash report your main executable’s UUID is 115d9e06055e36d298f592afd69b7642. You need to find the .dSYM file that corresponds to that. The Symbolication Troubleshooting section of TN2151 explains how to use the dwarfdump tool to print the UUID of a file. So, what you need to do is track down all of the candidate .dSYM files (which may be inside an .xcarchive, or you may have to download from App Store Connect) and then run dwarfdump to confirm that you have one with the right UUID. Without a matching .dSYM file, symbolication is dead in the water.

I have done more looking into this. For more info, if you make sure to remove MallocNanoZone property from the NSTask's environment property, then build functions perfectly and generates dsym files!

If I don't turn on 'DWARF with dSYM File', dSYM.debug_pubtypes contents will not resolve any public symbol.I used 'dwarfdump --debug-pubtypes' to dump .dSYMs content.How did everyone over come this problem? Basiclly, I'm seeing useless crash reports.

This sounds like great news to me! But to be clear the I completely understand you: I should disable bitcode in my app (I’ve seen guidance on that). Then, the local dsym files can be used with Crashlytics?

The symbol files are bundled in the .ipa file. dSYM files are not uploaded, instead there is a different format that is used with the extension .symbols. If you're not seeing that, then that points to an issue with how you create the .ipa file. What commands are you using to create it?

When does the .dSYM file get created? Where is it stored? What would cause it to go missing or not be created in the first place?The archived build I created when I submitted this app is still on my computer. The box for Include app symbols for your application to receive symbolicated crash logs from Apple was checked when I uploaded the build. The build setting for Debug Information Format is set to DWARF with dSYM File. I also checked Debug Information Level (Compiler Default) and Generate Debug Symbols (Yes).The only thing I can think of that I might have done is selected Clean from the Product menu at some point; would this do it?Frank

I am able to reproduce this by just creating a new project and changing Debug Information Format to DWarf with dsym file. Not able to use Crashylitics anymore. The issue started in Xcode 16.

Same issue here that I posted about a few days ago: ASC Doesn't Generate DSYM file Others commenting are experiencing the same problem so doesn't seem like an isolated issue.

I'm also experiencing the issue with invalid dSYM files being generated by iTunes Connect which show __hidden#xxxx_ instead of my app's actual class/method when used to symbolicate a crash file. My bug number is28225043

Thanks ssmith_c. I understand .app is a bundle. I thought the .dSYM file was supposed to live in Contents/Resources/DWARF/. I tried to put it in there before notarization but then notarization rejected the app. Ed

Eskimo, I tried using those commands and nothing worked. Any other tips? I also tried putting the app file, dSYM file, and crash file all in the same folder then running the symbolicate command. That didn't work either.

DWARF is the debug information format and the dSYM file is a package containing debug symbols.For example, if you have a library libfoo.dylib, the debug symbol file would be libfoo.dylib.dSYM.sing DWARF with dSYM strips debug symbols from the executable and places them into a separate dSYM file. Using the DWARF option keeps debug symbols in the executable instead of separating them into a separate dSYM file.You generally want to use the DWARF with dSYM option for release builds because otherwise, debug symbols get shipped with the executable if they are turned on, so turning off dSYM generation by switching to the DWARF option is not a fix, it just masks the problem. Switching to use DWARF masks the problem because it does not separate debug symbols, whereas DWARF with dSYM uses the strip and dsymutil commands, and it is typically these commands that tend to fail when there is malformed stuff in the binary.
