Question

Has anyone ever seen a crash log like this before where the UIKit and other system libraries do not get symbolicated? One of our apps is having an issue with crashing on
launch but only a small number of users (like 5) are experiencing the problem. (To my understanding the default.png is displayed and then it crashes) and we have been unable to reproduce it. There doesn’t seem to be anything oblivious in the code and I have ran the static analyzer and it shows no issues. But the fact that the
UIKit and other libraries are not being symbolicated is odd to me. I looked up libSystem.B.dylib 0000000000 0 + 0 and there are some hits on google about this and a connection with static libraries. This project does use static libraries but I would assume that if there was an issue with them it would not work on any device not just a couple.

This is the defaultImage method in its entirety

-(UIImage*)defaultImage
{
  return [UIImage imageNamed: @"Default.png"];
}

We got the ipa from one of the users and the Default.png does not seem to be corrupted.

Xcode doesn’t include everything for every version of iOS on every piece of hardware anymore. Instead, it’ll pulls information off the device.

Figure out what OS and device these users are using (it’s probably the same) and plug one into your Mac. Xcode will slurp what it needs from it.
