PLCrashReporter - Symbolication issue

Question

I'm new to PLCrashReporter. I have a question regarding symbolication of crash data. I use PLCrashReporter API to read crash data and send it to a server. After that point, i use symbolicate crash script to symbolicate the crash report.

The problem is; I have ~10 projects in my workspace. When I generate my app which is shell.app , build process also generates the shell.app.dSYM file. Therefore, I use this .dSYM file to symbolicate in symbolicate script. However, it only symbolicates the hex codes that belong to shell project. See example below.

Also, I checked the crash report that is also generated by iOS and it's fully symbolicated. Also, that crash report has more information that PLCrashReporter provides. Can someone enlighten me about this? Am I missing something wrong?

Thank you

Answer 1

To symbolicate the iOS system framework calls, you need to have the symbols of the corresponding iOS version existing on your system and available for the symbolication script.

Regarding your question that crash report has more information that PLCrashReporter provides: Without further specifying what exactly you are referring to, this cannot be answered.
