This App Bundle contains native code

Question

Hi,

I am getting this error while uploading my Xamarin Forms' android app to the Google Play Console.

This App Bundle contains native code, and you've not uploaded debug symbols. We recommend you upload a symbol file to make your crashes and ANRs easier to analyze and debug.

How can I fix it please?

Thanks,
Jassim

Answer 1

It looks like maybe you are uploading the debug package and not a release build that has the linker turned on to "link sdk assemblies". See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/deploy-test/release-prep/?tabs=windows and I even have a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kVeC1_14Ag

The team is looking into it though to see if there is anything they can do. One of the warnings will go away in 16.9 -> https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-android/pull/5304

The other around crashes is a warning because if google has those files it will give you better method names/line numbers, but in general this warning can be ignored.

I have the same settings as per your video but still getting the same errors.

Here is the error:
