Debugging .xccrashpoint

Question

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.

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Actually this file is a package and by right click on, and select

Show Package Contents

you can see contents of it.

• DistributionInfos->all->Logs

You see the all reports file, then open them by "Console" application
