symbolicate crash report with dSYM
We can symbolicate crash reports with two options:
- with straightforward
dwarfdump
- with interactive
atos
symbolicate with dwarfdump
0. prepare the crash report
You gotta carry it.
1. prepare the dSYM file
download your bitcode-enabled app's dSYM from App Store Connect, otherwise find it on your build machine.
2. verify dSYM architecture
$ dwarfdump --uuid my.dSYM
result:
UUID: CEBBEDFA-2F34-3EE2-8111-95E1FFB77740 (arm64) my.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/{target}
our binary was build with arm64 architecture.
3. get target offset
$ otool -l my.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/target
result:
...
Load command 3
cmd LC_SEGMENT_64
cmdsize 1992
segname __TEXT
vmaddr 0x0000000100000000 <---
vmsize 0x0000000000f90000
fileoff 10264576
filesize 148704
maxprot 0x00000005
initprot 0x00000005
nsects 24
flags 0x0
...
vmaddr
for segname __TEXT
is the target offset within the binary we are looking for: 0x0000000100000000
4. calculate stack trace address
For instance, I wanted to symbolicate this stack trace:
0 target 0x100e60738 0x100ca0000 + 1836856
the 1836856
is the binary offset within the target. (decimal format)
What we needed is apply this offset to target offset on step 3:
0x0000000100000000
+ 0x1c0738
(1836856 convert to hex) = 0x00000001001c0738
5. symbolicate infos
$ dwarfdump --arch arm64 my.dSYM --lookup 0x00000001001c0738
result:
my.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/target: file format Mach-O arm64

symbolicate with atos
0. prepare the crash report
You gotta carry it.
1. prepare the dSYM file
download your bitcode-enabled app's dSYM from App Store Connect, otherwise find it on your build machine.
2. verify dSYM architecture
$ dwarfdump --uuid my.dSYM
result:
UUID: CEBBEDFA-2F34-3EE2-8111-95E1FFB77740 (arm64) my.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/{target}
our binary was build with arm64 architecture.
3. find target binary offset
in your crash report, search for Binary Images:
...
Binary Images:
====
0x100ca0000 - 0x101c2ffff my.bundle.id (4.0.3) <cebbedfa-2f34-3ee2-8111-95e1ffb77740> /Volumes/VOLUME/*/{...}.app/target
====
0x1ba324000 - 0x1bba17fff com.apple.UIKitCore (1.0) <21e9f29f-240d-3476-8b43-cdd466037e71> /System/iOSSupport/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/UIKitCore.framework/Versions/A/UIKitCore
0x1a5621000 - 0x1a56b8fff com.apple.FrontBoardServices (764) <7a9af884-64d3-3563-880c-62dc35276c14> /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FrontBoardServices.framework/Versions/A/FrontBoardServices
...
0x100ca0000
is our target offset within the binary
4. setup atos
$ atos -arch arm64 -o my.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/target -l 0x100ca0000
atos now enters an interactive mode, reading addresses from stdin.
5. symbolicate infos
Finding your crash report's stack trace address.
stack trace:
0 streetvoice 0x100e60738 0x100ca0000 + 1836856
0x100e60738
is the address I can feed into atos.
submit 0x100e60738
in atos interactive mode.
result:
closure #1 in {...}.viewWillTransition(to:with:) (in target) ({...}.swift:0)
you can then type other stack trace address.
