[iOS] Upload Symbols Failed on Xcode 16 #46853

zzz08900 · 2024-10-06T16:45:30Z

Description

So everything looks to be working fine, but when building .ipa/uploading to AppStore Connect I got this warning:
The archive did not include a dSYM for the hermes.framework with the UUIDs *****

Although everything seems to be in working order (the ipa is successfully uploaded to AppStore Connect), I'm wondering if there's a way to get rid of this warning.

Steps to reproduce

Create react native project with npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init rnTest1 --version 0.74.5
Open project in Xcode 16 and build it, then upload the ipa to AppStore Connect
At the end of uploading process you'll be greeted with the warning.

@zzz08900 Thanks for the issue. we fixed that already with this commit f529fe4, but we forgot to cherry pick it. Let me create pick requests for that.

To unblock yourself, you can

open the file <yourApp>/ios/Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/universal/hermes.xcframework/Info.plist
manually remove ALL the instances of the following lines:

<key>DebugSymbolsPath</key>
<string>dSYMs</string>

save the file
create a new build

migueldaipre · 2024-10-16T01:03:26Z

Fixed in the release candidate v0.76

I have tried this on 0.74.6 and previously on 0.73.8. but the warning still does not disappear when i remove the lines.

matttturnbull · 2024-10-22T06:50:48Z

Thanks for the fix in 0.76, in the mean time:

Does anyone know how to patch this fix so that it stays in place after a re-install? If I run the following:

rm -rf node_modules
yarn
npx pod-install

Then the fix is reverted and the error persists.

I have tried this on version 0.74.2, but the warning still appears when validating the archive.

cipolleschi · 2024-10-28T14:35:22Z

We should backport the fix to previous versions then.

mohammad-goldast · 2024-12-02T12:57:38Z

Still same warning after uploading to appstoreconnect with "react-native": "0.76.3".
I already searched for the <key>DebugSymbolsPath</key> in the mentioned path but found nothing.

The archive did not include a dSYM for the hermes.framework with the UUIDs [842F8776-9CE7-387F-AFB8-AD89FC4DE398]. Ensure that the archive's dSYM folder includes a DWARF file for hermes.framework with the expected UUIDs.

cipolleschi · 2024-12-04T15:32:05Z

That's surprising.. If the Info.plist does not have any dSYM entry, it should not look for them.

matttturnbull · 2024-12-08T22:32:18Z

Should this be re-opened? As it seems that the issue is still present in 0.76.3

mohammad-goldast · 2024-12-09T09:57:10Z

What I did for now to fix the issue on RN 0.76.3.

Downloaded the dSYM files from here.
Created a folder in ./ios called dSYMs and put the hermes.framework.dSYM file for iphones inside.
Added a new Run Script in the Build Phases of my IOS project after Bundle React Native code and images script.

#!/bin/bash

echo "[Custom Script] Copy dSYMs to hermes-engine 1"

# Define source and destination paths
SOURCE_PATH=${PROJECT_DIR}/dSYMs
DEST_PATH=${PROJECT_DIR}/Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/universal/hermes.xcframework/ios-arm64/

echo "[Custom Script] Copy dSYMs to hermes-engine 2 $SOURCE_PATH"
echo "[Custom Script] Copy dSYMs to hermes-engine 2 $DEST_PATH"


# Check if source directory exists
if [ ! -d "$SOURCE_PATH" ]; then
    echo "[Custom Script] Copy dSYMs to hermes-engine 3 $DEST_PATH"
    echo "Error: Source directory $SOURCE_PATH does not exist"
    exit 1
fi



# Copy the directory
cp -R "$SOURCE_PATH" "$DEST_PATH"
echo "[Custom Script] Copy dSYMs to hermes-engine 4 $DEST_PATH"
echo "Successfully copied dSYMs to Hermes destination"

Clean the project and build again.

joaonew · 2024-12-09T18:20:01Z

Having the same issue on react-native 0.76.3

I have the same issue, tried this solution but it didn't work for me.

nes123 · 2024-12-19T09:18:58Z

The need to download the dSYM files with every package update is overly burdensome.

mohammad-goldast · 2024-12-21T08:31:22Z

Strange, my own solution even doesn’t work anymore in RN 76.5.

1 - Copying dSYMs files manually doesn't work.
2 - Couldn't find the plist attributes to ignore checking dSYMs files in debug and release.

Now, the archive had been uploaded to AppStore Connect but it's still showing the error in XCode.

nes123 · 2024-12-21T08:48:44Z

I am tempted to turn off hermes which in any case makes start-up very slow in iOS

cipolleschi · 2024-12-23T13:20:33Z

There are some issues related to Xcode 16 that might make this worse: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/763731?page=4

It might not be a React Native problem, as many other libraries are affected

Out of curiosity, is there someone that is encountering this issue and that is developing using Expo and uploading with EAS?

Hknzbyn · 2024-12-30T14:44:17Z

@cipolleschi Hello, in my case, I moved an application that I built with eas and successfully sent to testflight to cli due to sdks that do not support expo.
In summary, eas build / submit processes were smooth

Harry-Drew-CyanBytes · 2025-01-14T20:47:06Z

Any updates on this? I still get the error in react native version: 0.76.6

AmirDiafi · 2025-01-15T01:47:00Z

+1

cipolleschi · 2025-01-16T10:36:24Z

Which version of Xcode are you using? Are you uploading a Debug or a Release App?
I also reached out to Expo to understand if they do something special when uploading to the App Store with EAS.

The error makes no sense to me, because there are no references to the dSYMS in the Hermes.xcframework...

eedeebee · 2025-01-20T05:00:03Z

I'm getting the same symptom with RN 0.72 when I upgradef from older XCode to XCode 16 in order to ,make debug builds for an iOS 18 device. I"m trying to upload a release build. Since I was doing this same build pre XCode 16, I'm asssuming this wartning is just letting me know aomehting about my bujilds thay is not new as I didn't otherwize change anything about my RN bujild other than moving to XCode 16....

hassanharoon321 · 2025-01-20T12:10:56Z

did anyone find the solution I'm still looking for solution nothing works here

cipolleschi · 2025-01-20T13:31:33Z

@hassanharoon321

move to Xcode 16.2
clean up all the caches for cocoapods:
i. rm -rf Pods Podfile.lock <YourApp>.xcworkspace
ii. clean up derived data rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/
iii. rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/CocoaPods/Pods/External/hermes-engine/
clean up node_modules rm -rf node_modules
rerun yarn install && cd ios && bundle install && bundle exec pod install

suhitaga · 2025-01-21T04:55:59Z

yeah i just got this too... the app seems to upload to testflight still but it's weird and interesting nonetheless

anndoman · 2025-01-23T10:53:47Z

I think i checked all the options in the comments and none of them work, I am still getting error :(
xcode version: 16.2
react native version: 0.76.3 but I also upgraded the version to 0.76.5 and checked it

vitalybaev · 2025-01-25T21:05:48Z

Also having the same issue for quite some time. XCode 16.2, react-native 0.76.6

cipolleschi · 2025-01-29T13:13:14Z

I verified with Expo and they are not doing anything different than uploading the same artifacts we ship as you would do without Expo.

This must be a local configuration otherwise the upload would be broken for everyone or for nobody.

Out of curiosity: are you uploading a Debug build or a Release build?

importre · 2025-01-29T16:05:14Z

Same issue with RN 0.77.0 and Xcode 16.2.

Workaround

To resolve this issue, I added the following script to the Pre-actions of the Archive step in Xcode’s scheme settings.

generate-hermes-dsym.sh

if [[ -z "$1" ]]; then
  echo "❌ Usage: $0 <TargetName>"
  exit 1
fi

TARGET_NAME=$1

export ARCHIVE_PATH=$(ls -dt ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/*/"$TARGET_NAME"*.xcarchive | head -1)
echo "📦 Using Archive Path: $ARCHIVE_PATH"

if [[ ! -d "$ARCHIVE_PATH" ]]; then
  echo "❌ Archive not found for target: $TARGET_NAME! Please archive the project first in Xcode."
  exit 1
fi

echo "🔍 Existing dSYM files:"
find "$ARCHIVE_PATH/dSYMs" -name "*.dSYM"

export HERMES_BINARY=$(find "$ARCHIVE_PATH/Products/Applications" -name "hermes.framework" -type d)
echo "📍 Hermes Binary Path: $HERMES_BINARY"

if [[ ! -d "$HERMES_BINARY" ]]; then
  echo "❌ Hermes framework not found!"
  exit 1
fi

dsymutil "$HERMES_BINARY/hermes" -o "$ARCHIVE_PATH/dSYMs/hermes.framework.dSYM"
echo "✅ Hermes dSYM generated at: $ARCHIVE_PATH/dSYMs/hermes.framework.dSYM"

echo "📂 Final dSYM files:"
find "$ARCHIVE_PATH/dSYMs" -name "*.dSYM"

echo "🎉 Done! Hermes dSYM successfully generated!"

Xcode Pre-actions Setup

In Edit Scheme → Archive → Pre-actions, add the following script

sh generate_hermes_dsym.sh "$TARGET_NAME"

gkasireddy202 · 2025-01-30T09:31:11Z

Facing the same issue on Xcode 16.2

Still getting same issue.

@zzz08900 Thanks for the issue. we fixed that already with this commit f529fe4, but we forgot to cherry pick it. Let me create pick requests for that.

To unblock yourself, you can

open the file <yourApp>/ios/Pods/hermes-engine/destroot/Library/Frameworks/universal/hermes.xcframework/Info.plist

manually remove ALL the instances of the following lines:

DebugSymbolsPath
dSYMs

save the file

create a new build

@cipolleschi - I followed the above steps in my project. My project has react-native:0.73.7.
uncomment the below one.

cipolleschi · 2025-02-03T13:59:15Z

I believe something is wrong with Xcode 16.2. Those steps use to work with previous versions of Xcode when this was happening.

Sadly, there is very little I can do as we don't control Xcode.

For anyone reading: what you are seeing is just a warning. It does not prevent you from upload and submit your app and Apple will not reject your app because of missing debug symbols in the release binary.

kaushikdas0 · 2025-02-03T16:24:06Z

This issue still exists even today, can we not request to reopen this issue for tracking?

cipolleschi · 2025-02-03T17:51:12Z
