Visual studio doesn't copy the .pdb file into Appx folder

Hi,

I was debugging a UWP app. I found that the exception stack trace doesn't contain the line numbers. After a lot of tests, I found that the .pdb file doesn't be copied to the Appx folder. Maybe, it's the root issue. How to deal with this issue?

Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2017
Version 15.9.4

Thanks,
Steven

    Hi LineSteven,

    I have created a new uwp application on my side. The line number can be displayed in call stack window, and the pdb is not in appx folder. So,

    • Is the pdb file copied into output directory?
    • You can try to delete .vs folder in your solution directory

    Best Regards, Dylan
