Summary

Luciq's Crash Reporting tool provides detailed crash reports instantly to a user's dashboard, capturing essential information such as the running environment, thread states, and steps to reproduce the crash, alongside network request logs and highlighted stack trace frames. To make these reports readable, symbolication is necessary, which involves converting memory addresses in stack traces into human-readable method and function names using Debug Symbol files (dSYMs). Users can obtain dSYM files through iTunes Connect or Xcode, and upload them to Luciq either manually or automatically using a shell script integrated into the build process. Once symbolicated, crash reports offer an easily understandable format, highlighting critical frames and methods, facilitating efficient diagnosis and resolution of app crashes.
