Debugging .xccrashpoint

Question

I have logs on Xcode Organizer, but I don’t know how to properly debug them. I read the Apple documentation at Apple Documentation does not tell me where the error / failure message is. It’s hard to debug if you don’t know what caused it. When I try to open every log in Finder, it opens the .xccrashpoint file, not the standard crash log.

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

Answer 1

I also stumbled upon this recently. What helped me:

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

Then you need to symbolize the collapse. There are several ways to do this, but the easiest thing I know is:

• open window → Device Panel in xCode
• Click on the device (I had to connect an iPad) → open device logs
• drag and drop the .crash file.
• sort by date, find your failure, crash is now symbolized

Answer 2

Actually this file is a package and right click and select

Show package contents

you can see its contents.

• DistributionInfos-> All-> Logs

You see the file of all reports, then open them with the Console application
