Xcode creates the . dSYM file automatically for you when you use the Archive option. The created archive contains your app and its dSYM and is stored in ~/Library/Developer/xcode/Archives .
A dSYM file is an ELF file that contains DWARF (debugging with attributed record formats) debug information for your application. DWARF is a debugging file format that supports source-level debugging.
Right Click on your archive -> Show in Finder ->
Right click on file and click on Show package contents
.
Here you will find your .dSYM file.
You can locate .dSYM and application binary file in archive.
dSYMs folder contains dSYM file of your project.
Application folder in Project contains application binary of your project.
If you have archived your project, you can find the dSYM file as above.
If you have build you project for a real device, you can also find the dSYM file by the following way:
Make sure that the app is in black color, not red. Because red color means that you have not build the target for a real device.
Before all of these actions, make sure you have configured the xcode build settings right, as follows:
Generate Debug Symbols
setting is enabled.Debug Infomation Format
are set to DWARF with dSYM File
.Hope this will help.
