xcodebuild - setting build dir doesn't generate dSYM

Question

I am doing an archive with xcodebuild (xcode 5) through the command line as so:

xcodebuild -project MyProject.xcodeproj -scheme MyScheme -sdk iphoneos7.0 -configuration Release archive CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="iPhone Distribution: My ID" -archivePath archive/MyArchive.xcarchive -xcconfig Config/MyReleaseConfig.xcconfig CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR=$SRCROOT/build/$CONFIGURATION$EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME

When I run this, I get my xcarchive generated and console output seems ok. However, when I explore the contents of the archive there is nothing under dSYM. Project settings are verified ok. If I run the same command as above BUT omit the CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR bit, I get the dSYM as expected. Do you know if there's a solution for this (i.e. should anything else be set). I want to have control over the build dir.

EDIT:

I've tried setting explicitly from command line (as opposed to in my scheme settings):

DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT="dwarf-with-dsym"

and pos-processing to YES. Still no joy.

Thanks.

Check again build settings. Take a look at Debug Information Format, it should have DWARF with dSYM file

For futher information take a look OS X Man Pages xcodebuild and Xcode Build Setting Reference
