Automatic dSYM Upload Failures (Xcode 15.3+)

Problem

When integrating the New Relic iOS agent using Swift Package Manager (SPM) in Xcode 15.3 or later, the run-symbol-tool may fail to upload dSYMs automatically. This is caused by an Xcode build setting that restricts script access to the network and file system.

Known errors:

• Failure to capture or upload dSYMs, resulting in unsymbolicated crashes in the New Relic dashboard.
• Build log error: run-symbol-tool: upload_dsym_results.log: Operation not permitted

Solution

To resolve these errors, you must disable the User Script Sandboxing build setting. This allows the New Relic post-build script the necessary permissions to locate your dSYM files and upload them to New Relic servers.

Follow these steps to update your configuration:

1. In the Xcode Project Navigator, select your project.
2. Select your application Target.
3. Click on the Build Settings tab.
4. Search for User Script Sandboxing (or ENABLE_USER_SCRIPT_SANDBOXING).
5. Set the value to No.

Once this setting is disabled, we recommend performing a clean build (Product > Clean Build Folder) to ensure the run-symbol-tool executes correctly on the next build cycle.
