I need to remove the debugging symbols from the IPA file. I enabled the Strip native debugging symbols under Project Options -> iOS Build.

I used the nm command to check and still I am getting symbol information from the iPA file.

I tried the same by creating a native project in XCode and stripped the debug symbols using the following configuration

Deployment Post processing -> YES
Strip Linked Product -> YES
Strip Debug Symbols During Copy -> YES
Generate Debug Symbols -> NO
Debug Information Format -> DWARF

After archiving the XCode project, I used the nm command and I am not getting any symbol information.

Is there any other configuration in visual studio for mac to perform this?

Update: Also tried adding --dsym=false in the Additional mtouch Arguments but I am unable to archive the file and getting the following error

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/External/xbuild/Xamarin/iOS/Xamarin.iOS.Common.targets(1005,3): error MSB3375: The file "bin/iPhone/Release/AppName.iOS.app.dSYM/Contents/Info.plist" does not exist.

If you adding `--dsym=false` in the Additional mtouch Arguments, you have to uncheck `Strip native debugging symbols`. – nevermore Apr 04 '19 at 08:09
@JackHua-MSFT I tired archiving by only adding `--dsym=false` with `Strip native debugging symbols` unchecked. Now I am able to archive but it is having symbol information. – Siddharth Apr 04 '19 at 10:23
What symbol information did you find? – nevermore Apr 25 '19 at 07:52
