Xcode 6 symbolication not working

Question

I've followed some of the SO solutions for symbolicating but I can't get any of the Apple framework lines to symbolicate. Using symbolicatecrash outputs a new crash log to the terminal, but it only symbolicates my code:

/Applications/XCode6/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DTDeviceKitBase.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash crash1.crash Defqt.app.dSYM

Exception Type:  EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000

I get the following errors after running the script:

Try to use the "symbolicatecrash -v xxx.crash" command to get the verbose log, you should be able to find the apple frameworks' symbols could not be found, they should be located in ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport/${iOS version}, the symbols will be copied if you connect a real device to your mac and synchronise it, and the version must be exact same with the device's iOS version which the crash report occurs.

I don't know where to download the symbols for different iOS versions, the question Missing iOS symbols at “~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport” has asked this but no answer at the moment.

I just provided an answer at the linked question. Short version: You need to connect a device running the same iOS build and supporting the same CPU architecture the crash report was created on. Connect that device to the computer so Xcode can import the symbols. Symbols for bugfix iOS versions can not be downloaded. Xcode comes with the symbols for new iOS versions which include API changes. – Kerni Feb 09 '15 at 10:55
