Crash analysis requires symbols matching the shipped version. Hardening can make accurate mapping even more important.
Evaluation approach
Store symbols and protection mappings with final-artifact identity. Restrict public access.
Application example
Using another release's symbols can produce an incorrect diagnosis and fix.
Limits and considerations
Keeping a symbol archive does not require unnecessary debug data in the production package.
Who needs access?
Support diagnostics teams without making files broadly public. Incorrect version mapping can lead to false causes and unnecessary code changes.
Checks and decisions
- Match artifacts
- Restrict access
- Symbolicate a sample crash
