Question

I have crash logs from an iPhone Application in the App Store (retrieved via iTunes Connect) that after symbolicating have a bunch of “<redacted>” method names from CodeData and CoreFoundation.

The original crash log file from iTunes Connect looks like:

Last Exception Backtrace:
0   CoreFoundation                  0x34a0929e __exceptionPreprocess
1   libobjc.A.dylib                 0x32d1997a objc_exception_throw
2   CoreData                        0x3631fec2 -[NSSQLCore _obtainOpenChannel]
3   CoreData                        0x363cfd9c newFetchedRowsForFetchPlan_MT
4   CoreData                        0x363b3be6 -[NSSQLCore newFetchedPKsForSourceID:andRelationship:]
5   CoreData                        0x363a6008 -[NSSQLCore newValueForRelationship:forObjectWithID:withContext:error:]
6   CoreData                        0x3635690a -[NSFaultHandler retainedFulfillAggregateFaultForObject:andRelationship:withContext:]
7   CoreData                        0x36326d48 -[_NSFaultingMutableSet willRead]
8   CoreData                        0x3632767c -[_NSFaultingMutableSet allObjects]

The log looks like this after symbolicating on my Mac:

Last Exception Backtrace:

8   CoreData                        0x3632767c <redacted> + 20
9   [myappname]                     [memory addresses here]
...

Can anyone help find why “<redacted>” gets added to the symbolicated versions?
Symbols from my own App are symbolicated fine, as are basic libobjc symbols as you can see above.

UPDATE: Switched around the logs to be clearer after Kerni’s answer

Answer 1

I had the same problem and got rid of messages by deleting all iOS 6.0 (including beta) data from ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport.

Now, symbolicate uses the symbol data stored at /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/6.0 (10A403)/
instead of the stored symbol data in user library.
