How movable are iOS debug symbols in Xcode?

Question

I'm using QuincyKit to analyse crash dumps from my iOS apps. QuincyKit's symbolication script is capable of handling both my code and system code - as long as the debug symbols for the relevant version of iOS are present on the machine.

Said symbols reside under (Home)/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport . Question - did anyone ever try to move those folders from one machine with Xcode to another?

I could use some 7.0.x symbols; chances of getting a device with that version are practically nil by now.

Answer 1

Just check the source of symbolicatecrash.pl that you use for symbolication.

It searches the iOS system symbols in the following paths:

/System/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport/
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport/
Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/*.platform/DeviceSupport/

These paths are hardcoded and may change with every update of the script (as it is part of Xcode).
