Visual Studio and TestFlight - how to include symbols


I am creating a Xamarin Forms app which I have uploaded to TestFlight

I am using Visual Studio which now includes the ability to post your archived build directly onto TestFlight

However when browsing the app on TestFlight, it says symbols were not included with the build

I can see by browsing through the project folder that a .dSYM was generated

How do I stipulate using Visual Studio (on Mac) should include this with the upload?


Solution

  • Aboud Provisioning in TestFlight :

    To test your builds with TestFlight, you will need to create an App Store distribution profile with the new beta entitlement. This entitlement allows beta testing through TestFlight, and any new App Store distribution profile automatically contains this entitlement. You can follow the step-by-step instructions in the Creating a Distribution Profile guide to generate a new profile.

    You can confirm that your distribution profile contains the beta entitlement when validating your build in Xcode, as illustrated below:
