3) How do you take crash log for iOS App. Xcode—Windows-Devices- Log-date vise logs

4) What informations are present in info.plist file ? [plist: Property list file] Rename app.zip, 7-Zip :
Extract To app.zip , Folder Open: Payload folder, app.app , inside: info.Plist , open with plist editor

The ‘info.plist’ is a file which contains information about the build like the build version, server
environment, minimum OS…etc

There are only a few steps to get to the info.plist:

Step 1: First, go to a MAC. The info.plist file will not display properly if opened on a PC.
Step 2 and 3: Then open a new Finder window and look on the network for the iOS build you are testing.
Step 4: The next step is really important; Copy/Paste the .app file to the desktop. You should never open
a .app file from the network, especially if it’s the version used for installation, as it will corrupt the build
and create issues during the next installation.
Step 5: Once copied, right-click on the .app file and select ‘Show Package Contents’.
Step 6 and 7: This will open a new window where you’ll see the full content of the .app. All files should
be displayed in alphabetical order so you can either scroll down or type in the letter ‘I’ to get to the
info.plist. Double click on it to open.

17) Can we install an app on a device if the provisioning profile of app is expired ?
• A provisioning profile is a collection of digital entities that uniquely ties developers and devices
to an authorized iPhone Development Team and enables a device to be used for testing.
• A Development Provisioning Profile must be installed on each device on which you wish to run
your application code. Each Development Provisioning Profile will contain a set of iPhone
Development Certificates, Unique Device Identifiers and an App ID.
• Devices specified within the provisioning profile can be used for testing only by those individuals
whose iPhone Development Certificates are included in the profile.
• A single device can contain multiple provisioning profiles.

• To install an app on a device during development, you need three things: an app ID that
identifies the set of apps it authorizes to run, a list of devices your team wants to use for testing,
and a list of developers permitted to sign the app. These three things are bundled in a
development provisioning profile. A development provisioning profile uniquely ties developers
and devices to a development team. A provisioning profile is valid for one year. A device can be
added to multiple provisioning profiles.

• For your convenience, Xcode creates a wildcard app ID, called iOS Wildcard App ID, that matches
all your apps. The first time you register a device in Xcode, Xcode creates a development
provisioning profile, called iOS Team Provisioning Profile, that uses the iOS Wildcard App ID.
Xcode automatically adds new developer certificates and registered device IDs to the iOS Team
Provisioning Profile so you can use iOS Team Provisioning Profile for all apps that don’t require
an explicit app ID.

• Only team agents and admins can create development provisioning profiles.

1. After logging in to the iOS Provisioning Portal, click Provisioning in the sidebar.

2. Click New Profile.

3. Specify the profile name, select the certificates and devices you want to associate with this profile,
and choose an app ID.

• Only team agents and admins can create development provisioning profiles. This profile
contains a name, a set of development certificates, a set of device IDs, and an app ID. A
development provisioning profile ties developers and devices to a development team.

• A profile is valid for one year.

• When choosing devices and certificates, select all devices your team will use for testing and all
certificates for developers working on the app.

• If you, the team admin, recently enabled an app ID for Apple Push Notification Service, create a
new provisioning profile containing that app ID.
 • After the team admin creates this profile, you will be able to download and install it on your
device and test your app.

18) Is it good to test an app on jail broken devices and why ? to remove manufacturer or carrier

22) What is the importance of .dysm folders in the iOS app. Dsym: Debug Symbols file
dSYM files store the debug symbols for your app

Services like crashlytics uses it to replace the symbols in the crash logs with the appropriate
methods names so it will be readable and will make sense.

the benefit of using the dSYM is that you don't need to ship your App with it symbols making
it harder to reverse engineer it and also reduce your binary size

The symbolicate command comes with Xcode.

By default the Xcode Organizer should display and symbolicate all crash reports that it finds, either on
devices or downloaded by iTunes, as long as Xcode can find both the .app and the .dSYM files on the
MAC. In the eventuality that the crash log is not being symbolicated automatically, here’s what you need
to do:
<Voiceover: animation 1>
The steps start right after you’ve retrieved the crash log in Xcode; so you should be in the Organizer
window, have your device selected and be on the Device Logs tab.
<Voiceover: animation 2>
Step 1: Take your latest crash file(s) and copy it (them) to a new Folder on the Desktop
<Voiceover: animation 3>
Step 2: Delete all other unnecessary crash logs. This is optional but it makes it easier and quicker to
symbolicate; and in case you delete the good ones by mistake, you’ve already made copies of the
originals.
<Voiceover: animation 4>
Step 3: Symbolication requires the .app and the .dSYM files to work. Both files can be found together in
the build submission package that should be saved on the Network.
<Voiceover: animation 5>
Step 4: Copy both files into the new Folder previously created on the Desktop, in which the crash log
should already be located.
<Voiceover: animation 6>
Step 4: Multi-select the .app, dSYM, and crash report in the Finder window, and drag them to the log list
panel.
Symbolication is automatic. Once you have grouped your files together Xcode will work its magic and
symbolicates the crash log. You do not have to press anything or select anything from a menu.
<Voiceover: animation 7>
NOTE: the process can take a few minutes and you may need to restart Xcode for the symbolication to
trigger.
