Upload Symbols Failed , The archive did not include a dsym

[kunal...@gmail.com]

Hi,

Today, Xcode 16 released and ios 18 release version came out as well. We have been building archive using xcode 16 for our apps using admob and seeing a warning when validating apps in organizer of Xcode.

The warning is attached with this mail. 

When we select - > DWARF in Debug information format in xcode Target of our app in build setting, we see the same warning for our appname.app as well as admob framework and google UMP framework. 

But if we select - > DWARF with dsym in Debug information format in xcode Target of our app in build setting, we dont see the same warning for our appname.app , only admob framework and google UMP framework. 

Kindly see screenshots for both scenarios. 

Does that mean we wont be able to symbolicate crashes happening due to the libraries with warning if we go ahead with the build?  But that is really important for us right now. 

Because we recently updated Admob sdk in our app to 11.9.0 but we still see for it.

I'm seeing the same warnings while validating the app in Xcode. Although Xcode is allowing the app to be uploaded to AppStoreConnect, I've not submitted the same for review yet. 

Using Xcode 16 and Admob 11.9.0.

Hi, 

Thank you for contacting the Mobile Ads SDK Support team.

The issue is not specific to the Mobile Ads SDK. It's related to Xcode. I have also noticed that many developers have reported about this issue in the Apple Developer Forums. 

This message is in relation to case "ref:!00D1U01174p.!5004Q02vGGMG:ref" (ADR-00268421)

Thanks,

Will we not be symbolicate crash reports caused by 3rd party frameworks mentioned in the warning?

Hi,

Kindly ignore the previous response.

When submitting apps built with Xcode 16 to the App Store, you might encounter Upload Symbols Failed warnings related to the Google Mobile Ads and User Messaging Platform SDKs. You can dismiss these warnings because these SDKs are static frameworks, which don't need a separate dSYM file for debugging. For more information, kindly refer to Xcode 16 validation warnings.

Thank you so much for resolving my doubts.

that guidance doesn't mention anything about other core Firebase libraries where I am seeing the same issue. Is this really a "nothing burger" that can be ignored or is there an issue that needs to be addressed?

Hi,

As per Xcode 16 validation warnings document it all related to Google Mobile Ads SDK and firebase is a different thing. Please be informed that our support channel can only best assist you with regards to Google Mobile Ads SDK implementation and technical issues.
