nsbundle

Instruments is able to properly symbolize my app's main bundle (as well as frameworks and libraries) in the stack trace of the extended detail view. However, symbols aren't resolved for plugins loaded during execution.

Setting the build directory where the dSym files for the main and plugin bundles are located (as well as the app itself) in the "File > Re-Symbolicate Document" menu item made no discernible difference in the stack trace.

What must I do for Instruments to load symbols for the plugins?

When using the "Gather Leaked Memory Contents" of the Leaks Instrument, it seems to give me only the hex contents of an object, rather than showing me the ASCII string beside it (like every other hex dump in the world ever).

Our obfuscator, SmartAssembly, does some pretty crazy reflection. It's an obfuscator, it's sort of its job to do things in the most awkward way possible. But sometimes, you can go too far. One such time is this little gem from the strings encoding feature: StackTrace stackTrace = new StackTrace(); StackFrame… >>> More
