Today I received a crash report from a user. The good news is that I
don't get these very often, but this means that due to lack of
experience I'm never sure if I'm doing something wrong when my attempt
to symbolize the crash report fails, as it just did.
My script which I use to ship my application produces a .dSYM file for
the app and all of its dependent frameworks. From the crash report
[1], I see that the binary which provoked the crash is x86 and has
identifier 'com.sheepsystems.Bookdog'. From the "Binary Images"
section [2], I see that the uuid of this binary is
d6b29b64312aa4f1532d8309df9642da. I open the .dSYM package which my
script had produced for this build and in its Info.plist, and verify
that the dSYM_UUID.i386 property is the same, D6B29B64-312A-
A4F1-532D-8309DF9642DA. Yippee.
So I unzip my zipped archive of Bookdog 5.3.3, move it into the same
directory with this .dSYM and the other frameworks' .dSYM files, cd to
this directory, fire up gdb, and ask for the names of the three
com.sheepsystems.Bookdog symbols in the call stack of the crash.
Unfortunately, in all three cases, I get the dreaded "No line number
information available for address...."

I then try to get info the for call at the bottom of the stack, which
is presumably my main(). But it can't even find main()!...

Am I doing something wrong, or is gdb crash symbolizing a hit-and-miss
operation that sometimes just doesn't work. If the latter, is there
anything I can do to improve my chances?
