[Android] Document fix for warning "native debug symbols are missing in appbundle" when uploading app to playconsole #98773

jaded0 · 2022-02-18T22:00:59Z

Building my app using flutter on android studio, and when I upload my app bundle (made via flutter build appbundle, the message pops up:

Warning

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

I've tried every solution currently online to fix this. Every combination of the following:
these solutions:

Upgrading to Flutter 2.10.0
Upgrading to Android Studio Bumblebee | 2021.1.1 Patch 1 and clicking check for updates, to which it responds You already have the latest version of Android Studio and plugins installed.
Trying to check the gradle plugin version, but it's packaged into android studio, and I can't see the version nor an option to upgrade.
Upgrading Android SDK build tools to 33-rc1. via SDK manager
Installing NDK (Side-by-side) via SDK manager
Installing CMake via SDK manager
Adding ndk.dir=/home/jaden/Android/Sdk/ndk/23.1.7779620 to the local.properties file, even though that's apparently deprecated.
adding android.buildTypes.release.ndk.debugSymbolLevel = 'SYMBOL_TABLE' to the bottom of my app/build.gradle.
from app/build.gradle:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 31

    ...

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "app.(myapp)"
        minSdkVersion 23
        targetSdkVersion 31
        versionCode flutterVersionCode.toInteger()
        versionName flutterVersionName
    }
    ndkVersion "23.1.7779620"
    buildTypes {
        ...
        release {
            signingConfig signingConfigs.release
            ndk {
                debugSymbolLevel 'SYMBOL_TABLE'
            }
        }
    }
}

What's insane is that the flutter documentation for building and releasing an android app says absolutely nothing about including native debug symbols. That leads me to believe that for some reason, flutter should already be including them in the app bundle, but it's not. Does it have anything to do with obfuscating my code? I didn't obfuscate mine, but do I need to use the solutions described in there to pull out the native debug symbols?
Is this even supported? Should I just upload the app as-is without the feature? What am I supposed to do when I get unintelligible crash reports?

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

I'm submitting this as a new issue, even though #60240 is very similar, because of comments to that very issue that seem to imply that Flutter is supposed to be bundling the native debug symbols without my intervention. Namely, this comment. It may have something to do with my specific project, and I'm absolutely lost as to what the problem is.

jaded0 · 2022-02-19T04:49:39Z

Turns out the problem is occurring, for some reason, due to my usage of gradle plugin 7.1.1. Changing classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.1.1' to 'classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3'` fixes my problem. The google play console recognizes the native debug symbols within the app bundle. It's unclear why, except within the app bundle, the directory BUNDLE-METADATA contains the directories:
Using 7.1.1:

com.android.tools.build.gradle
com.android.tools.build.libraries
com.android.tools.build.obfuscation

Using 4.1.3:

com.android.tools.build.debugsymbols
com.android.tools.build.libraries
com.android.tools.build.obfuscation

I won't be closing this issue because I don't understand why it's happened this way.

I can confirm this problem. I had a project with an up and running setup including the native debug symbols.
I updated this project (new Gradle + Gradle plugin version, NDK version, new compile / build / target versions, etc.) overall to be up to date and suddenly the app bundles were built without the native debug symbols.

I've tried it with multiple versions of the android gradle plugin, and I can say that the problem occurs after android gradle plugin version 4.1.3. So my fix right now is to make android/build.gradle have:

buildscript {
    ...
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3'
        ...
    }
}

The next version of the plugin, 4.2.0, omits the native debug files, despite this inclusion in app/build.gradle:

android {
    ...
    packagingOptions {
        dex {
            useLegacyPackaging true
        }
        jniLibs {
            useLegacyPackaging true
        }
    }
}

Hi @jaded0, Thanks for filing the issue. I did see that warning a week back when uploading an app to play console. Provided that you have tried a bunch of solutions from different issues and SO threads, I am labeling this issue as a lack of documentation bug.

jaded0 · 2022-02-21T14:41:22Z

It really ought to be built into flutter that it still manages to create the entire app bundle on the later versions of the android gradle plugin. I'd say it's more of a flutter or android gradle plugin bug.

Okay, let us wait for the secondary triage's input on this issue.

@jaded0 I've also had the same problem, but I overcame it only by using debugSymbolLevel FULL. When I used SYMBOL_TABLE it also didn't work. But with FULL the google play console immediately finds native symbols, without me even uploading a separate zip file.
The gradle version I use is: 7.2.1
The only concern I have is whether it is safe to pack debug symbols together with appbundle? As I thought it was intended to go separately to avoid de-obfuscation.

This didn't work for me, but I found a workaround on this StackOverflow post
https://stackoverflow.com/a/68778908/19194522

Was able to zip the folders and the Play Console recognised the debug symbols.

We're close to hitting 2 years on this issue. Any chance there's been some progress?

When I build my app with flutter build apk --release --obfuscate --split-debug-info=build/app/outputs/symbols I get 3 files in build/app/outputs/symbols after the build is completed;

I zipped the 3 files and tried uploading that to playstore, but I got invalid file type

I left a comment on the main issue (#60240) but I think this can be solved if flutter provides an unstripped flutter.jar during the build process (basically, if the engine artifacts we provide come from a build with the --no-stripped flag). I'm going to test to make sure it doesn't lead to any situations where it might accidentally cause developers to ship apks with debug symbols to users, but short of that it should be a safe change to make

dnfield · 2024-02-15T21:12:51Z

Even with an unstripped libflutter.so, gradle will by default strip the library.

It should be possible to package or upload symbols - we have them available in the cloud buckets.

Google play console rejects the generated symbols when they are uploaded
