PLCrashReporter - How to convert .plcrash to .crash directly from Xcode itself and save it locally

Question

I am currently working with PLCrashReporter and need some help with converting the plcrash directly to .crash file instead of using the plcrashutil.

What i currently do is -

I simulate a crash and it creates a myapp.plcrash file.

Once that is generated i use the following on command line -

plcrashutil convert --format=iphone myapp.plcrash > app.crash

This works perfectly - But is there a way I can dont have to do this extra step and convert it to .crash directly from my code probably by importing the library or something??

Any Solutions???

Got the answer

Here is the solution if anyone else is looking for it..

PLCrashReportTextFormat textFormat = PLCrashReportTextFormatiOS;


    /* Decode data */

    PLCrashReport *crashLog = [[PLCrashReport alloc] initWithData: data error: &error];
    if (crashLog == nil) {
        NSLog(@"Could not decode crash file :%@",  [[error localizedDescription] UTF8String]);
    } else {
        NSString* report = [PLCrashReportTextFormatter stringValueForCrashReport: crashLog withTextFormat: textFormat];
        NSLog(@"Crash log \n\n\n%@ \n\n\n", report);

        NSString *outputPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent: @"app.crash"];
        if (![report writeToFile:outputPath atomically:YES encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil]) {
            NSLog(@"Failed to write crash report");
        } else {
            NSLog(@"Saved crash report to: %@", outputPath);
        }

    }

where do you symbolicate the data? – ilker Acar Aug 05 '12 at 06:10
it took a while to try out, and yes, this new format could be symbolicated using symbolicatecrash, though it's looks different from the crash file generated from plcrashutils. And for my case, I just sent the report over the network (no need to post binary data). – Walty Yeung Dec 20 '12 at 08:38
vivianaranha please add the swift version – Qadir Hussain Jan 12 '16 at 12:17
I did this but it still do not show the line number of error – Ehsan Razm khah May 16 '16 at 11:04

Have you tried to symbolicate the .crash file in the new format?
