iphone: Where the .dSYM file is located in crash report

Question

According to this page here if you have proper application binary and .dSYM file then it is easy to symbolic them. But where are .dSYM and application binary files located?

Answer 1

Right Click on your archive -> Show in Finder -> Right click on file and click on Show package contents.

Here you will find your .dSYM file.

Answer 2

You can locate .dSYM and application binary file in archive.

1. Select Window -> Organizer

2. This will open up Organizer window containing last created Archive of project
3. Right click on Archive and select 'Show in Finder'
4. Select 'Show Package Content' for archive
5. Project.xcarchive contains dSYMs, Info.plist and Products

dSYMs folder contains dSYM file of your project.

Application folder in Project contains application binary of your project.

Answer 3

If you have archived your project, you can find the dSYM file as above.

If you have build you project for a real device, you can also find the dSYM file by the following way:

• Go to Project Navigator, and find Products folder
• Right click the app, and choose Show in Finder.

  Make sure that the app is in black color, not red. Because red color means that you have not build the target for a real device.

• You can find the dSYM file with the same name with your app, in the same folder.

Before all of these actions, make sure you have configured the xcode build settings right, as follows:

• Generate Debug Symbols setting is enabled.
• Debug Infomation Format are set to DWARF with dSYM File.

Hope this will help.

Answer 4

I found my .dsym file in /Users/<username>/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/<appname>/Build/Products/<appname>

Answer 5

If you removed archive from Xcode's Organizer like me, you can download dsym at the appstore. Select your app, select target version and go to Activity tab. Here you can download desired dsym.

Answer 6

In Xcode 5.1.1 you will find it under Xcode -> Preferences -> Locations -> DerivedData. Under DerivedData you will see a bunch of random directory names. Find the ones that starts with your project name. Then get the latest directory that was created for your project. Then under that directory go to Build/Products/<Your specific release>/*.app.dSYM.

You can even click on your end product under "Products" in project explorer and do a "Show in finder" to get there directly.

Answer 7

The .dSYM file should have been generated when you built your application. Look in your build product directory.

Answer 8

It's simple. Please follow the steps here:

1. Open your project in Xcode, and select the project file in the Xcode Navigator.
2. Select your main build target from the Select a project or target dropdown.
3. Open the target's Build Settings tab.
4. Click All near the top of the tab.
5. Search for "debug information format".
6. Set Debug Information Format to DWARF with dSYM File.

Now go to Product > Archive > Your Build > right click on your build and click on Show in Finder. Now right click and go to Show Package Contents > dSYMs > Yourappname.app.dSYM_

Answer 9

If you have the UUID you are looking for, you can search the files with the following command:

mdfind "com_apple_xcode_dsym_uuids == <UUID>"

Answer 10

If you haven't generated an archive and are trying to debug it on the device, dsym can be found at

/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/YOUR_APP/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos

Answer 11

1.Select Window -> Organizer

2.Right click on Archive(your app name) and select 'Show in Finder'

3.Select 'Show Package Content' for archive

4.Right click on yourProject.xcarchive contains dSYMs, Info.plist and Products

5.select yourappname.app.dSYM

Answer 12

I just want to share something from my experience. Every time when I release a new version of my framework I save its dSYM in a separate folder. So, later I can find the relevant dSYM easily when I need it. It could be easily done by adding this line of code to the bash script in Build Settings (e.g. in this example I'm saving it to the desktop).

cp -r "${BUILD_DIR}/${CONFIGURATION}-iphoneos/${FRAMEWORK_NAME}.framework.dSYM" "${HOME}/Desktop/${FRAMEWORK_NAME}.framework.dSYM"

Answer 13

Just one more way to find them all, UUID as a bonus

 mdfind -name .dSYM | while read -r line; do dwarfdump -u "$line"; done

Answer 14

I found build configuration should be Release to generate .dSYM file.

Answer 15

[dSYM]

.dSYM is generated near .app..dSYM is defined by Build location^[About]. Usually it is a Derived Data folder.

For example F49088168M.app.dSYM is located

/Users/alex/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/F49088168M-gltfsnpvscodolcmxrvkbaebeppp/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/F49088168M.app.dSYM
