Where to get iOS system symbols for other iOS versions

Question

Please note: I am asking for a place I can download the symbols, or for a conclusive answer that such a site is prohibited by Apple. The \"duplicate\" question is simil

Answer 1

I've collected most of system symbols from real devices (from secondhand moblie market), iOS firewares and Xcode's iOS SDKs.

You can download the version you need here:

iOS system symbol file(7.0-9.2)

iOS system symbol file(9.2.1-10.2)

Read iOS-System-Symbols for more details.If I get new symbol file, i will add it into the google drive sharing folder.You can follow the latest update from the github repository above.

How to use

1. When you need to symbolicate a crash report, check the Code Type and OS Version section. Such as:

Code Type: ARM-64

OS Version: iOS 10.2 (14C82)

That means you need arm64version symbols of 10.2 (14C82)system.

2. Find the package in my sharing folder and extract it to ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport. (Check the file's name and path, it should be~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport/10.2 (14C82)/Symbols).

3. Use Xcode'ssymbolicatecrash tool to symbolicate your crash report. This tool will search system symbols in theiOS DeviceSupportpath automatically.

Symbols list

There are 50 versions from 7.0 (11A465) to 10.2 (14C92).(if you count OS version with CPU architecture, it's 85. I've got 76 of them).

Here is the list of symbols from 7.0to10.2, with their CPU architecture version I've got.

Missing symbols

I still miss these CPU's symbols, if you have any of them, please share:

How to check which CPU version the symbol file contains

If you already have a system symbol file, and want to know which CPU version it contains, check files in the path like10.2 (14C92)/Symbols/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.dyld. There should be file nameddyld_shared_cache_arm64,dyld_shared_cache_armv7s,dyld_shared_cache_armv7.

If you miss one, that means you don't have that CPU version's symbols.
