Symbolicate crash logs

Q1) How can I symbolicate the entire crash log file. I do have DYSM & APP files with me. Using ATOS command is tedious. My symbolicatecrash is not working.

Q2) If I forgot to capture the DYSM & APP files while generating a build, can I generate & use them after some time given that there is no modification done on that code after the build was generated. Will this be as good as capturing these file at the time of build generation?

You can also translate symbols manually using atos. Read more on my blog: http://www.dev-smart.com/archives/389

symbolicatecrash is a perl script that uses spotlight to locate the dSYM files that belong to the app that crashed. If you run symbolicatecrash with the -v (verbose) option you'll see something like: Searching in Spotlight for dsym with UUID of ... Running mdfind "com_apple_... == ..."

So, be sure that spotlight works, and the indexing for spotlight is active for the volume where your stuff is located, with the mdutil command: mdutil -s -a If the volume your archived Apps are on is not indexed be sure to switch indexing on. (As root/sudo: mdutil -i on /Volumes/...)

A1) Just put DSYM, APP and crash files in one directory. Then open XCode Organizer->iPhone development->Device Logs, and just drag & drop crash log to a list. That's all, if you have a proper dsym file, crash log should appear with symbols in a list.

A2) If there are no modifications done on code, compiler and machine where build was generated, there's some chance. But I never succeed in my attempts to do this.
