Symbolicator

Symbolicator is command line utility for symbolizings crash logs for OS X and iOS applications.

In it's essence symbolicator is a wrapper over atos command line tool. It's primary focus is making symbolication as simple as possible. As minimum, it's as simple as specifying the list of crash log paths you want to symbolicate:

symbolicator crash1.crash ~/Downloads/crash2.crash ~/Documents/crash3.crash

The tool will deduce the application information from each crash log, fetch appropriate DWARF file from Xcode archives path and use it to symbolize the crash log. By default it searches for DWARF files on ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives but you can specify different path with --archives command line switch).

Note: you must run symbolicator on Mac which contains all archived projects for which crash logs belong. If you have multiple crash logs it's faster to provide all of them as multiple arguments on command line than each one separately.

How to compile?

1. Open symbolicator.xcworkspace file in Xcode and compile.
2. You can find compiled binary on your Xcode derived data path, by default ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/symbolicator-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/build/Products/Debug (or Release).
3. For simplest usage, copy generated symbolicator binary to some location in your PATH (/usr/bin for example, use echo $PATH in Terminal to see the list of all possible locations).

Note: Symbolicator is implemented in Swift, so it requires Xcode 6+ to compile. It also uses cocoapods for dependencies, for convenience they are included in this repository so you don't need to do pod install. Just take care to open xcworkspace not xcodeproj file!

How it works?

Each crash log contains information about the application that crashes - this includes name, bundle identifier, version and build number etc. Each Xcode archive is simply a bundle containing both, compiled binary (that's usually stripped of all debugging symbols) and DWARF file which contains all symbol mappings. Additionally, it contains a plist file that describes the application information - version etc. for which it was created. Symbolicator matches information from crash log with corresponding archive bundle and uses it to symbolicate symbols.
