So apparently Monterey has switched to creating .ips files instead of .crash files for application crashes. Console.app can convert these .ips files to "old-style" crash format. But is there a command-line tool to do the same thing?
Command-line tool for .ips files?
To answer my own question for posterity, I did find this: ips2crash
But ultimately, I ended up writing my own with Perl.
@hecht Do you mind sharing the script?
I'm happy to share it. I tried to add it as a file enclosure, but this system doesn't seem to want to let me do that. And it's too large to paste as text.
@hecht Would you mind posting it as a Github Gist? https://gist.github.com/
See if this works. Thanks. https://gist.github.com/hecht1962/34e35e4917da2d10fb66e2c88d299b51
@hecht It worked pretty well.Many thanks.
New folks may end up here, just an FYI, perl is already pre installed on MACOS, so you can fire script like
perl /Users/user/Downloads/34e35e4917da2d10fb66e2c88d299b51-3a42cc5e3a79625702e87854c4d87b12e0e947c1/ipstocrash.pl /Users/user/Crash-mess/Application-2022-04-07-081335.ips >symbolicated.crash
Here's another potential solution that is a simple command line app: https://github.com/dmaclach/crashdump
Could you please specify how the Console app can be used to convert the file?
I just double-clicked the .ips file in Finder and it opened, converted and displayed in Console with "Translated Report" at the top.
