How do we get dSYM file for net6.0-ios apps?

[jeanplevesque]

We're trying to build a release pipeline for an iOS app (using net6-ios and WinUI APIs).
The build itself works and we get an .ipa but we don't get any dSYM.

Here's our binlog.
build-net6.0-ios.binlog.zip

We looked at your Gallery app for reference and found that it also doesn't generate any dSYM 🤔.

It's really important for us to get a dSYM in order to have good crash reporting.

Try adding <NoDSymUtil>false</NoDSymUtil> inside your .csproj file and the Rebuild the project.

Note that it won't be copied to the same directory as the .ipa file. That's a known issue in the iOS SDK.

So if I do this, it should be able to find it?

- task: CopyFiles@2
  displayName: 'Copy DSYM'
  inputs:
    Contents: '**/*.dsym/**'
    flattenFolders : true
    SourceFolder: '${{ parameters.pathToSrc }}/app/${{ parameters.solutionName }}.Mobile/bin/Release/net6.0-ios'
    TargetFolder: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'

Also I tried with <NoDSymUtil>false</NoDSymUtil> and still nothing. Copy file can't find it.

Not sure about the yaml... and if Contents is case sensitive. You better use `*.dSYM' to avoid problems.

As for the <NoDSymUtil>false</NoDSymUtil> make sure to add it inside a property group that is executed for net6.0-ios and for your build configuration.

It worked! My copy file contents property was wrong and I also added NoDSymUtil to be safe.

- task: CopyFiles@2
  displayName: 'Copy DSYM'
  inputs:
    Contents: '**/*.dSYM/**'
    flattenFolders : true
    SourceFolder: '${{ parameters.pathToSrc }}/app/${{ parameters.solutionName }}.Mobile/bin/Release/net6.0-ios'
    TargetFolder: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/${{ parameters.solutionName }}.Mobile.dSYM'

Thanks for the help.
