Debugging .xccrashpoint


I've got some logs on Xcode's Organizer but I don't know how to properly debug them. I've read Apple Documentation at Apple Documentation by it doesn't tells me where the error/crash message is. It's hard to debug if you don't know what has caused it. When I try to open each log in Finder, it opens a .xccrashpoint file, not a standard crash log.

Xcode Organizer

Is there anyway to know the error message (as we received on previous crash reports)?


Solution

  • I have stumbled on this recently too. What helped me was:

    • right click on the crash -> show in finder
    • copy the .xccrashpoint file somewhere
    • rename the file extension from .xccrashpoint to .crash
    • now Finder sees it as a folder and you can browse to the .crash file you need

    Then you need to symbolicate the crash. There are several ways to do this, but the easiest I know is to:

    • open Window -> Devices panel in xCode
    • Click on the device (I had to plug in iPad) -> open device logs
    • drag and drop the .crash file there
    • sort by date, find your crash, the crash is now symbolicated
