I tried almost everything but can symbolicate the crash.
I tried using symbolicatecrash followed by these posts:
(_hidden#919_:0) inside crash symbolication file
Why aren't the crashlogs from Testflight symbolicating in Xcode?
Xcode Crash Organizer does Not Symbolicate .xccrashpoint Files
How to symbolicate crash log with Xcode 8?
how Symbolicate a crash file using xcarchive

But without any success.
What am I doing wrong? How can I figure out what causing the crash?
The good news that it is crashing in your code, not in Operating Systems or Library code, so you have a good chance to debug it. Your code that is crashing is running off a timer. Sometimes these bugs are seen because in testing, you are just testing the app. But in the real world, those timers fire when you are not expecting them.
For example, someone ran your app, then put it into the background when using another app, or for example they received a phone call whilst using the app. If you attach the full contents of the .crash file, it will give more information on the cause of the crash.
Another thing you can do is place asserts into your code, such as in your timer callback functions for each object you are relying on being non-null.
You may find that your app is trying to draw onto the screen but is in the background. This is a common reason for a crash seen in the field for games that use timers. That may sound like a generalisation but it is a suggestion to try and make you think differently about the real world environment your customers face which can the reason for the failure.

I have several production iOS apps that all use the Fabric framework for Crashlytics and Twitter integration. For the past few months I've been seeing a low-level crash show up in Crashlytics, but I have been unable to duplicate it.
Here is the stack trace and about all I have to go on:

At that point I get an EXC_BAD_ACCESS KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000000e005bec8 message.
I've done the standard Googling of the problem and based on posts like this it seems obvious that I'm doing something that ARC doesn't like. I just can't figure out what that might be. I have tried turning on NSZombies and have also run my code against an Objective-C static analysis tool with no luck on either.
My question is: has anyone run into anything similar, especially when using the Fabric framework? If so, is this something that could be buried in the framework, or is it my own doing?
I have been getting rather strange crash reports from my live app with stack traces like the following:

This is rather mysterious because neither the main thread nor any of the other live threads in the reports seem to imply that this is caused by my code, though of course I am skeptical of this.
This seems to be a rather common crash according to the number of reports I receive from Crashlytics, yet I have not been able to reproduce it on my own devices. I suspect this is probably related to some memory management issues because the various crashes always end up being some bad pointers being sent messages.
This always happens on this thread and following the -[_UIDelayedPresentationContext beginDelayedPresentation]_block_invoke call. This is obviously a private class being referenced from within some Apple framework, however I am at a loss to figure out exactly which one could be calling this.
The app is an educational game and I suspect this could be related to the GameKit API (particularly the Game Center authentication dialogs).
All of these crashes have been happening exclusively on iOS 7 and on iPad only. The app is universal so it is interesting to see that iPhone users seem to be unaffected.
Does anybody have any previous experience with these private classes that could give me some hints?
I'm using the TestFlight SDK and have received several crash reports identical to this one. However, I'm having trouble understanding it, and what the underlying cause of the crash is from the reports?

Additional details:
Users report this crash happens 1-2 seconds after the app starts
The app uses Core Data and MagicalRecord (which is where the MR_swapMethodsFromClass method comes from)
I can't reproduce this issue on any test devices when running from Xcode (iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, or iPhone 5) running various iOS versions (iOS 5.1, 6.0, 6.1)
EDIT
Still working on solving this issue... I've been able to recreate it (but not with a debugger attached).
Here's the strangest part-- if a user has an older version of the app and installs an update (distributed via Test Flight), they get this error.
However, if they first delete the old app and install the update, the error doesn't occur.
Let's walk through it:
0 MyAppName 0x0013faba testflight_backtrace + 382
1 MyAppName 0x00140708 TFSignalHandler + 264
That's TestFlight. This is after the crash has happened, so it's certainly not the cause.
2 libsystem_c.dylib 0x32862e92 _sigtramp + 42
This is the point at which we caught the crash. "sigtramp" is the signal "trampoline." That's a fancy way of saying "I caught a signal (crash) and now I'm going to bounce to somewhere else in the code."
3 Foundation 0x33750d1c -[NSError dealloc] + 60
Ah. This is important. We crashed while deallocating an NSError. That means the NSError was over-released or under-retained.

5 CoreFoundation 0x31de9440 _CFAutoreleasePoolPop + 16
6 Foundation 0x33751f7a -[NSAutoreleasePool drain] + 122
Sad… it manifested while draining the autorelease pool. That means the actual bug could be a long way from here. But at least we know the type of the object. NSZombies could be of use to try to find the specific object.
7 CoreData 0x35e0a4b2 -[NSManagedObjectContext save:] + 1210
And the autorelease pool was draining during a MOC save. That suggests it's probably related to your Core Data code. It's at least where you'd look first.
The things to remember are:
The bug is almost certainly in your code.
If it's not in your code, it's probably in Magical Record
Do not assume it is in Core Data. That is the least likely place for the bug given this stack.
Here's the strangest part-- if a user has an older version of the app and installs an update (distributed via Test Flight), they get this error.
However, if they first delete the old app and install the update, the error doesn't occur.
Probably in your upgrade code then. Most likely in the Core Data migration stuff. Audit every use of NSError in that area of code. Eliminate all compiler and analyzer warnings. And try NSZombies if its reproducible.
You should try to add a model version to your data model. It worked for me, i had a similar Magical-Record-related issue.
My application is crashing when one of the views is purged from memory because of low-memory condition. At least this is what I understand from the crashlog. It happens on numerous screens but only when opening a Facebook dialog (using the Facebook SDK). Basically, looks like the system sometimes runs out of memory when we need to present a Facebook dialog (e.g. to let user post something on the Facebook timeline).

I checked and there are almost no memory leaks, e.g. when testing the app for an hour the total memory leaked was around 2-3Kb caused by some string-copying libraries. So I don't believe this is caused by the application. I guess that when the phone is not restarted for some time there are applications running in the background and when using Facebook SDK the memory becomes a problem and the system tries to recover the memory from random applications, including my application.
My question is, how can I prevent this crash from happening? How should I handle unloadViewForced on a view controller to make the app more robust in low-memory conditions? And lastly, am I right that this crashlog suggests the crash occurred because the system tried to free memory and my application didn't handle it properly?
Any help greatly appreciated.
What is most likely happening is that one of the objects being referred to and probably being released by LTBaseViewController viewDidUnload method is being doubly released. In fact, since the backtrace indicates that the crash is happing on line 145 of LTBaseViewController.m you should be able to quickly see which object is the culprit.
An iPhone app is crashing on the device but not on the simulator. So I'm trying to learn how to interpret the crash log. I read lots of forum posts saying that the symbolicated crash log shows a back trace that gives the method and line number of the calls leading to the crash but I don't see anything useful. Maybe I'm not looking at the symbolicated crash log. Here is the beginning of what I see:

Is anything here useful for finding out which line of my code led to the crash? Darken is the name of the application -- I already knew that. The only method name I recognize is UIApplicationMain but the crash didn't happen when the app was first launched -- I was running it about a minute and doing dozens of functions before the crash.
You may want to try and set NSZombieEnabled to YES in your project and let it crash with your device running in debug. It should stop at the line of code causing your crash. Your error looks like it is an EXC_BAD_ACCESS which usually means you were trying to access some deallocated memory.
You won't get a line number from a crash dump (unless you compiled your app with -g and run in GDB, but I doubt it since you don't seem to know what these are at all).
You ARE looking at the symbolicated crash dump: you DO have the names of the functions in the call stack. The crash occurs in the last called (topmost) function, which is objc_msgSend. That means you're not properly balancing your alloc/retain/copy methods with autorelease/release, and the messenger function tries to access already freed/corrupted/nonexistent memory, hence the crash (EXC_BAD_ACCESS is similar to a segfault, in fact you'll get one of these when you make such a mistake).
So my advice is, triple check your code for method calls modifying the reference count.
