How to fix dsymutil in Xamarin

Question

I am trying to build the iOS App on a real device but unfortunately I get hit by a

dsymutil exited with code 1

Things I did:

• I did search google but it says my Harddisk is full which is not the case.

• I did try to clean and build multiple times - No success

• I did try to reinstall CommandTools by using command xcode-select --install - No Success

• I did remove the CommandTools and then did the reinstall - No Success

Just an FYI

• I am using Xcode 11.4 Beta 2

• I am logged in with my Apple Account on the Xcode

What my cause this issue?

Any other info you would like to ask do ask.

Thanks

Answer 1

Here is the solution:

I went inside Xcode.

Preferences>Locations> Command Line Tools. Mine was on 13.2, needed to upgrade to 13.3 (Thought I already had but it must not have done it automatically)

Answer 2

Check for Xamarin.ios version, mine was incompatible with visual studio Mac

i changed it when I was debuging on a windows machine connected to a Mac and VS windows said if I wanted to download compatible version, clicked yes and it downloaded and installed on the Mac computer

After that, I wasn't unable to debug on physical devices

suddenly after almost giving up a "Xamarin.ios update is ready, click to install update" came on VS Mac

after that I got no errors

Answer 3

This discussion was very helpful. I also had to make sure my VS for Mac updates were all installed. Once they were, everything needed to align just right, it worked.

Answer 4

We have resolved this issue now. All we did is we just updated Xamarin.iOS, Mono Framework MDK and Visual Studio for Mac to the latest versions.

Just go to Visual Studio → Check for Updates and then update all.

Answer 5

The error is kind of a hair puller.

So here is how I did it

First I uninstalled ALL of the XCODE

I followed this article on stackoverflow

After that I downloaded the Xcode from Apple from this article

Also download the CommandLine tools for that version. After that it worked and now I am not getting any error.

Remember this that CommandLine Tool versions should also match. 11.4.2 will not work with 11.3.1. I tested this and wasted alot of time.
