The other issue was closed because it looked like you were referring to appflow builds, not to regular Capacitor local builds. Some questions were asked there, can you answer them here and provide more information and a sample app that reproduces the issue with steps to reproduce? this new issue have even less information that the first one.

@jcesarmobile @eric-horodyski The issue is not related to Appflow. Whether in Appflow or when building on the local laptop, the same issue and result occur. I don't understand why the bug was closed, as it's easy to reproduce this bug.

To reproduce this issue, create a Capacitor project and deploy it to the Google Play Console.

jcesarmobile commented 1 month ago

Please, provide a sample app and steps to reproduce or this issue will be closed too.

Create a project ionic + capacitor . Generate a signed bundle with Build -> Generate Signed App Bundle / APK and press analyze in the popup that appears.

after upload bundle in google play

The bundle does not include debug symbols. @jcesarmobile Would you like to upload a sample project to GitHub?

jcesarmobile commented 1 month ago

yes, please

tarektaamali commented 1 month ago

This is a sample project to reproduce the issue. @jcesarmobile @eric-horodyski https://github.com/tarektaamali/sampleAppReproduceBugCapacitor

tarektaamali commented 1 month ago

Note: @jcesarmobile For example, when building a bundle using the Flutter framework, the bundle includes debug symbol files (*.so). I don't understand why this isn't the case when using Capacitor for the same process.

Hello @jcesarmobile, Regarding moving debug symbols into the App Bundle: I can use a script or Gradle task to copy the debug symbols into the App Bundle’s metadata directory. I’ll try this solution. Do you think it will work, and is it considered best practice? cc @eric-horodyski
