Where to get iOS system symbols for other iOS versions
debug-symbols, ios, xcode
Solution
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
- 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 `arm64`version symbols of `10.2 (14C82)`system.
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`).
Use Xcode's`symbolicatecrash` tool to symbolicate your crash report. This tool will search system symbols in the`iOS DeviceSupport`path 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 `7.0`to`10.2`, with their CPU architecture version I've got.

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 like`10.2 (14C92)/Symbols/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.dyld`. There should be file named`dyld_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.
Problem
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 similar to the one I linked in my question: the only suggested answer is to get access to a physical device or to find another developer who has one. I've symbolicated a crashdump, but only the lines in my application code get symbolicated; system code does not. It looks something like this: ``` Thread 0 Crashed: 0 libobjc.A.dylib 0x39c195d0 0x39c16000 + 13776 1 QuartzCore 0x33aefcad 0x33ade000 + 72877 2 QuartzCore 0x33af3105 0x33ade000 + 86277 <snip> 13 UIKit 0x33d862b9 0x33d2f000 + 357049 14 MyApp 0x0005ef87 main (main.m:14) ... Thread 7: 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x3a101e30 0x3a101000 + 3632 1 CoreFoundation 0x31ef82bb 0x31e61000 + 619195 2 CoreFoundation 0x31ef7031 0x31e61000 + 614449 3 CoreFoundation 0x31e6a23d 0x31e61000 + 37437 4 CoreFoundation 0x31ec8c4b 0x31e61000 + 425035 5 MyApp 0x0016f293 +[UA_ASIHTTPRequest runRequests] (UA_ASIHTTPRequest.m:4795) 6 Foundation 0x3283b231 0x3278a000 + 725553 7 libsystem_c.dylib 0x3a06b0e1 0x3a05a000 + 69857 ``` I gather from this question that this is because the crash came in from an iOS 6.1.4 device, and I do not have symbols for iOS 6.1.4 in my ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport folder. Unfortunately, iOS 6.1.4 is an iPhone 5-only release, and I don't have physical access to an iPhone 5 which I can update to 6.1.4, so getting the symbols off the device is out. Is there anyplace I could download the symbols for different iOS versions (without the devices that run those versions), or are these considered Apple confidential?
