Xcode archive not creating DSYM file

Identifying the problem

As @belsokar suggested, check the Report Navigator. In my case, the dSYM file has not been generated, and there hasn't been a corresponding line that goes like "Generate Appname.dSYM ...in {path}"But there's been Fabric installed, and it logged the fact of the dSYM file's absence:

Just filer the Report Navigator by "dSYM".

Fixing

In my case I've just had to do what I'm asked of:

DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT should be set to dwarf-with-dsym for ALL configurations.

Also, it may turn out that dSYM file is being generated in an unexpected place. Check environment variables, especially DWARF_DSYM_FOLDER_PATH and DWARF_DSYM_FILE_NAME.

To embed the dSYM within the app bundle, just set DWARF_DSYM_FOLDER_PATH to $(CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR)/$(EXECUTABLE_FOLDER_PATH) and DWARF_DSYM_FILE_NAME to $(EXECUTABLE_NAME).dSYM

Checking

Now the build should create dSYM for your target

xcode - > product -> Archive

you see Archives window

1 Select any Archives of your app Right click on it Then select show in finder

2 you see aapname.xcarchive file Right click on it and select show package contents

3 you see dSYMs folder open it and get .dSYM file

:)

Try using: Deployment Postprocessing -> YES
