Since I installed Corona build 2013.1125 (2013.5.23),
each time I build an app, I get a .dSYM file.
What is it?
How to disable it?
Do I need it to submit my game to iTunes Connect?
Thanks!
Also, it adds almost 10 Mo to the size of the app when building for appstore distribution…
WTF?
One of my apps is doing this too… not sure what it’s for.
From Corona support :
The .dSYM is generated when you build with plugins. It contains symbols that we can use internally to debug crash issues. There is no way to disable the generation of the file if you are including plugins.
Why is it keeping you from submitting to iTunes Connect? The file is store in the same location as your .APP and .ZIP files. You should NOTE store these files in your project folder because they will be included in your next build. Instead, your Save To Folder should be pointing to a temporary folder outside your project folder.
If you don’t want the .dSYM file, you can delete it without any harm. It is not sent to iTunes Connect.
