react-native: How to symbolicate Hermes crash stack symbol?

Description

As the document states, there are Hermes symbols in the assets, but only certain versions have them (e.g., 0.70.7), while others don’t (e.g., 0.71.7).

How can I obtain the Hermes dSYM for version 0.71.7?

Below is the crash report.

Hey there, starting from 0.73, we are publishing the dSYMs for both Hermes in Release and Hermes in Debug. You can find the link in the GitHub releases.

In any case, they follow the format (replace the <> with the proper value. All letters are lowercase):

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/facebook/react/react-native-artifacts/<version>/react-native-artifacts-<version>-hermes-framework-dSYM-<build_type>.tar.gz

We don’t have dSYMs for versions lower than 0.72, unfortunately.

@iCodeWoods I make a test today and I can confirm that running

BUILD_TYPE="Release" ./utils/build-ios-framework.sh
BUILD_TYPE="Release" ./utils/build-mac-framework.sh

Creates also the dSYMs:

I’ll be on holiday the next week, and back the week after. Once back, I’ll have a look at how to create the archive and ship the symbols!

Yeah, I understand. If a crash is happening with both engines, it makes me think that it is either something in the app or in React Native. Looking at these lines, it seems that the symbols for Hermes are actually created.

But then, here those symbols are stripped. I think that the idea was to strip them from there and to create a separate .tar with them.

So, one thing you can do while we work to restore them is to:

clone react-native repo
checkout the branch 0.71-stable
run yarn in the main folder
cd packages/rn-tester
bundle install
bundle exec pod install --> this will download the right version of hermes locally
cd ../react-native/sdks
BUILD_TYPE="Release" ./utils/build-ios-framework.sh --> This should build hermes for iPhone, iPhoneSimulator, Catalyst.

This should build the framework in the /tmp/hermes/hermes-runtime-darwin/destroot/ folder and you can look whether there is a dSYM folder that you can use. We never update Hermes after 71.4, so the latest you can build from 0.71 is the same you should have in prod.

I really hope this helps.
