A dirty fix for crash log symbolication in Xcode

symbolicatecrash.patch

# This patch will force symbolicatecrash to use dSym in atos instead of using release build executables.
# 
# After setting the Xcode archive folder to one that outside Library (hidden), Spotlight will find the archives but Xcode still cannot symbolicate crash logs using the archives. If you find some similar errors in the STDERR from symbolicatecrash using the following command, this patch will help
# DEVELOPER_DIR=`xcode-select -print-path` /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DTDeviceKitBase.framework/Versions/A/Resources/symbolicatecrash -v -o <symbolicated.crash> <input.crash> 2>v.log

# 1 binary images were found.
# Running /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/atos -arch armv7 -l 0x82000 -o '<app name>.xcarchive/Products/Applications/<app name>.app/<app name>' <some addresses> | 
# ## Warning: Unable to symbolicate from required binary: '<app name>.xcarchive/Products/Applications/<app name>.app/<app name>'

THAT was helpful a few moments ago! :)
