Are you actually missing a dSYM in the .xcarchive, or are you saying that it's missing only in the .ipa you upload? Xcode won't include the dSYM in the upload when bitcode is enabled, because it has no use. The bitcode compilation process will create a new dSYM for you as a byproduct of any compilation, which you download later in the Xcode Organizer, and it is this new dSYM that helps you debug crashes coming in from customers who download your app from the App Store.

thanks for the clarification about how DSYM works w/ bitcode. we typically disable bitcode on upload.
