“Too many symbol files” after successfully submitting my apps

Question

I downloaded Xcode 6 GM and submitted two Swift apps to the app store today. Both passed all pre-upload verification and all the other stuff they had to pass and were succe

Answer 1

For me everything was very simple. I had the same problem and didn't know what to do for a week.

After you submit an archived application, you will see certificate for distribution in small popup window. There is a checkbox after it, which you should uncheck. After that you will submit it and get an email about symbol files. BUT it isn't problem. It's just a warning; not an error! If you uncheck that checkbox, your app will be sent correctly. I hope it may help you.

The problem for me was a line in my build.xcconfig file. I had to remove

IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 11.0

which was setting the project to only build for arm64 (and not arm7). Following the steps by @miOS I could see that the pods project was building for both.

Answer 3

If you encountered this problem while using CocoaPods, add this to your Podfile:

post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
        target.build_configurations.each do |config|
            config.build_settings['DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT'] = 'dwarf'
        end
    end
end

It will set Debug Information Format to DWARF only for all your Pod targets only (not the main app target)

Answer 4

The above helped troubleshoot, but couldn't solve. We had project at iOS 12 but pods 10 - led to a bunch of armv7 files. Updating pod to iOS 12 solved instantly.
