Hello, Is there a possibility to download the dSym files generated in the Xamarin.Archive step? $BITRISE\_DSYM\_PATH - The created iOS .dSYM.zip file’s path OR A step to upload dSym files to HockeyApp after the iOS build? Any information regarding this would be very helpful ---

Do you have the **Deploy to [Bitrise.io](http://Bitrise.io)** step in your workflow? You can attach any file to the build with that -\> docs: [http://devcenter.bitrise.io/tips-and-tricks/attach-any-file-to-build/](http://devcenter.bitrise.io/tips-and-tricks/attach-any-file-to-build/) ---

Thanks for the quick response. We haven’t configured a **Deploy to [Bitrise.io](http://Bitrise.io)** step yet. # Exact situation: 1. We have an iOS application (bitcode is not enabled) and we would like to generate crash logs/stack trace for production version of the app. 2. For that we need to upload dSym files to HockeyApp(previously: Xamarin.Insights) to symbolicate the crash logs. 3. As the build and deploy to **TestFlight** is automated on Bitrise we would like to have functionality that enables us to Either - Download dSym files after the build (we upload them manually to **HockeyApp** ) OR - Bitrise should upload the dSym directly to HockeyApp (may be a dedicated step?) # From what I understood from your replay: 1. We should configure a **Deploy to [Bitrise.io](http://Bitrise.io)** step to deploy **$BITRISE\_DSYM\_PATH** to output which will be available in individual builds **Apps & Artifacts** section Is that correct? Thanks in advance 🙂 ---

Usually it’s enough to just drop in the **Deploy to [Bitrise.io](http://Bitrise.io)** step, no config required. Tech details: the default config of the Deploy to [Bitrise.io](http://Bitrise.io) step is to deploy the content of the `$BITRISE_DEPLOY_DIR`, and our Xcode steps move the dSYM ZIP into that directory, so no additional config is required / you don’t have to specify the ipa path directly for deploy. ---

> [@mxpbitrise](#): > > As the build and deploy to TestFlight is automated on Bitrise we would like to have functionality that enables us to Either For AppStore/iTunes Connect you have to download the dSYM from iTunes Connect. When you submit the app there, the Apple/iTunes Connect servers will “recompile” the app, and so the dSYM you originally get from Xcode during the build/archive won’t match with the IPA you (or any user) download from the AppStore/iTunes Connect. iTunes Connect provides the recompiled dSYMs, you should download it from there (you can download it from Xcode.app too). That said, **if you have Bitcode disabled for the AppStore/iTunes Connect build** , then the dSYM generated during the build should be fine too, the things I described above (recompile on Apple servers) should only happen if Bitcode is enabled (which is the default). ---

Thanks @viktorbenei, The dSYM files are available to download as required. ---

Hey victor. I enabled the Deploy step, but no artifacts are being uploaded anywhere… I do see on the logs that both the IPA and dSYMS are being generated, but the artifacts page is still empty… any ideas? ---

Hi @fleetmode! Could you send us a log file our a build URL to look into this for you? 🙂 ---

I’ll close this topic @fleetmode please create a new topic if you’d need help with that issue, as it doesn’t seem to be related to the original question 🙂 ---
