What does "The dwarfdump binary must exist and must be executable" mean?

Question

I'm trying to build an app for submission to the AppStore..

Each time I try to build it I get a warning during Validate saying:

The dwarfdump binary must exist and must be executable: /usr/bin/dwarfdump (-19036)

And Apple doesn't allow me to submit the app binary because of this warning. Does anyone know what's wrong?

I tried to Google it but I can't find anything useful..

Answer 1

Try to search for the file dwarfdump on your computer(i.e. using spotlight). In my case it was located in /Developer/usr/bin. Make a symbolic link into /usr/bin

sudo ln -s /Developer/usr/bin/dwarfdump /usr/bin/

Answer 2

I was getting this error, but re-installed Xcode this time including the Unix tools (due to a suggestion on the iOS developer forums). This solved the problem. Previously I wasn't including this because I figured i wouldn't use it and was an extra 800MB of space used up. Seems iOS builds needs it for this one file now.

Hope this helps.

Same situation here:

Xcode 3.2.5 and iOS 4.2 (comes withApplication Loader 1.4)

So, I just tried and success to upload my app via Application Loader ver 1.3 with no dwarfdump kind error

ver 1.3 can be downloaded link below:
