Will do. I also found someone made a native app to do this which could be
expanded on:
https://github.com/agentsim/Symbolicator
For example, I don't know if it automatically finds the .dSYM file, which we
could add, and it writes the symbolicated file to disk, but I'd rather it just
display it. I wonder if it's possible to make attributed strings with links to
Xcode to open and scroll to the relevant lines…
And some steps for doing it manually (which I, too, always have to re-learn):
