Hello @Aswathy ,

If you are trying to archive an ipa, it may be under Release mode. You can go to iOS->Properties->iOS Build, select release configurations, then check Strip native debugging symbols , and add --dsym=false for Additional mtouch arguments.
For more details, you can refer to iOS Build Mechanics - Xamarin | Microsoft Learn.

In addition, you are using App Center, you could access App Center free support, please see Help and Feedback - Visual Studio App Center | Microsoft Learn.

Best Regards,
