Debugging symbols map program addresses to function names to help identify issues in reports. These symbols allow issues to provide a native crash stack trace with human-readable function names instead of numerical addresses. Symbols can be contained within the executable itself, but are usually stored in a separate file to reduce executable size. If your issues are missing one or more debugging symbols, then you can upload symbol files through either the Unity Dashboard or CI/CD pipelines.
