Uploading iOS DSYM files to AppCenter – oneliner
Tip: how to upload iOS symbol files from command line without logging into AppCenter. 3 easy steps
Step 1. Install AppCenter command line: npm i -g appcenter-cli
Step 2. Setup API token in AppCenter: AppCenter.ms -> Settings -> Api Tokens
Step 3. Run command below to upload iOS symbols to AppCenter
appcenter crashes upload-symbols -s path/to/YourApplication.app.DSYM --app "AppCenterOrgId/AppCenterAppId" --token your-appcenter-token
For example, for a typical Xamarin iOS path would be YourIOSProject/bin/iPhone/Ad-Hoc/YourIOSProject.app.dSYM
You can get your AppCenterOrgId and AppCenterAppId from your url – just go to the app details and see for the address bar:
on the image AppCenterOrgId would be DreamTeam-Mobile-Center and AppCenterAppId would be Burn-Vibes.
By the way, that would be Burn Vibes iOS app 😉

I’ve been searching for something like this for so long, it’s awesome to be so close to making it work. The error I’m getting is “failed to start the symbol uploading” which seems to be related to the token (writing a wrong dSym path or wrong app Id returns an explicit error)
Did it ever happen to you?
Ani, we did not get this error.
Wondering if you made your token for the correct app/organization and your user in AppCenter has rights to upload the symbols.
