Trying to get symbols for an iOS .crash file

Question

I'm stumped on how to get symbols for a .crash file out of xcode.

I have the .crash file, the .app file, the .ipa file and the .dSYM file. I drag the crash log into the xcode organizer and I see the crash log with symbols for system calls, but no symbols for my app.

The .app/.ipa was built by our build machine, so it was not archived via xcode.

I tried placing all three files (well, two are actually directories but look like files to the Mac) in the same folder and nothing. I tried running symbolicatecrash from the command line while in that directory and I get this error:

Error: "DEVELOPER_DIR" is not defined at /Applications/Xcode.app/[snip]Resources/symbolicatecrash line 53. 

I tried setting DEVELOPER_DIR to /Applications/Xcode.app and it gets further, but now I see a slew of errors that read:

sh: /Applications/Xcode.app/usr/bin/xcrun: No such file or directory 

I'm stumped. You'd think this would be easier given all 4 needed files are in same directory.

I am running xcode 4.4, but was experiencing the same issues last night with 4.3. I was hope upgrading would help.

Make sure you set the right DEVELOPER_DIR:

export DEVELOPER_DIR="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer" 

Xcode is written with capital X. Tested on Mountain Lion (10.8).
