Google Play debug symbol upload

The page on Debugging native code in Defold says that “the executables themselves contain the debug symbols.” but that doesn’t appear to be the case. We use the .aab format.

The Bob –with-symbols flag produces .so files, whereas the Google Play Native debug symbols upload (inside App bundle explorer) expects a .zip file. If I zip the .so file, Google Play complains that contains an .so file.

Should I be doing something different?

Just compress these two folders and upload this zip

Thanks, guess I created the .zip at the wrong level in the hierarchy.

I’ve updated the instructions on generating debug symbols and also added a note on how to zip the files for Google Play:
