outline
we’ve submitted an app for review but rejected by App crash reason. Apple sent kindly rejected reason and crash log files. so in here we will see how to analyze crash log files and find where problem is.
App review rejection
Apple send email when the app is rejected in review. if you got the email, go to Appsotre Connect and check out what reject reason is.
especially, if app review rejection reason is App crash, Apple would send App crash log files.
Guideline 2.1 - Performance - App Completeness
We were unable to review your app as it crashed on launch. We have attached detailed crash logs to help troubleshoot this issue.
Next Steps
To resolve this issue, please revise your app and test it on a device to ensure it will launch without crashing.

For information on how to symbolicate and read a crash log, please review Tech Note TN2151 Understanding and Analyzing Application Crash Reports.

we can see details about how to check App crash log in Tech Note TN2151 Understanding and Analyzing Application Crash Reports link attached App review rejection reason.
first, download App crash log files.
download Symbol file
we need the Symbol file(dSYM) to analyze App crash log files. go to Activity tab in Appstore Connect.
click All Builds menu on left side and select build version which you submitted for app review.
click Download dSYM on left bottom of the screen to download and unzip it.

analyze log files
let’s see how to analyze App crash log file. all log files have header like below.

we can get rough information by searching Exception Type in header on https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/WebObjects/iTunesConnect.woa/ra/ng/app/1441741187/platform/ios/resolutioncenter site.
for example, Bad Memory Access [EXC_BAD_ACCESS // SIGSEGV // SIGBUS] is occured when process accesses not existed memory or try to write something in read-only memory.
Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGKILL)

our app crash reason is EXC_CRASH (SIGKILL). in this case, we should see Termination Reason. our Termination Reason code is 0x8badf00d. search this code in above link, we can know The exception code 0x8badf00d indicates that an application has been terminated by iOS because a watchdog timeout occurred..
now, go to the folder of symbol file(dSYM) exists via Terminal to see where crash is occured.
# go to the folder of download files.
cd ~/Desktop/crash/
and open App crash log which Apple sent and see the top of the contents.

...
we will analyze with the symbol file which matches slice_uuid in here. also find your app name in Thread 0 Crashed.
we’ll use the command introduced in Tech Note TN2151 Understanding and Analyzing Application Crash Reports site to analyze.
atos -arch arm64 -o TheElements.app.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/TheElements -l 0x1000e4000 0x00000001000effdc
modify this command like below with contents we searched above.
# "slice_uuid":"7ed9caad-f7f7-31e6-8480-2d358fbef9c7",
# 13 blaboo 0x0000000100969608 0x10093c000 + 185864
# atos -arch arm64 -o [slice_uuid].dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/[AppName] -l [4th string: 0x10093c000] [3rd string: 0x0000000100969608]
atos -arch arm64 -o 7ED9CAAD-F7F7-31E6-8480-2D358FBEF9C7.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/blaboo -l 0x10093c000 0x0000000100969608
we can see below result when execute above command.
-[FIRInstanceIDAuthKeychain removeItemsMatchingService:account:error:] (in blaboo) + 136
now, we can know roughly location where crash is occured like above.
completed
we saw how to analyze App crash log which Apple has sent. after we checkd our App crash log, we knew some problems are occured in Admob and finally we found ADMOB_APP_ID was not set in GoogleService-Info.plist which we downloaded from Firebase. so we redownload GoogleService-Info.plist file from Firebase and build the app.
