Xcode 26 increase in dSYM size
Thank you for sharing your post. Please be advised that Xcode 26 is currently in beta testing. Could you please provide the beta and build number you are using, as well as the version of macOS you are running? To ensure the comprehensiveness of your report, please include the build number at which you initially encountered the issue, as well as any relevant screenshots, recordings, and dSYM file. Additionally, creating a test project can be a helpful way to demonstrate the issue to this problem.
Before submitting a bug report, please provide additional information, including the nature of the project you are working on and any specific details that would be crucial for reproducing the issue. If you have a sample project showing this issue I can test with, please share.
Do you get the same results with just the relevant code in a small test project? If so, please share a link to your test project. That'll help us better understand what's going on. If you're not familiar with preparing a test project, take a look at Creating a test project.
For future reference, I have included a resource that may be helpful in submitting bug reports. Please hold on until we have gathered the necessary specifics before proceeding. Bug Reporting: How and Why?
