Build Godot Export Templates with Debug Symbols

1. Clone the Godot source and checkout the same version as your editor and export templates. Debug symbols must correspond exactly to the exported build you will release; mismatched versions will not work .

   git clone https://github.com/godotengine/godot.git
   cd godot
   git checkout 4.x
   

2. Run SCons from the Godot source folder. The Godot documentation and Sentry docs both use scons to compile export templates with debug symbols .

   For the flags you mentioned (assuming your Godot version supports generate_android_binaries and gradle_do_not_strip):

   scons platform=android target=template_debug generate_android_binaries=yes debug_symbols=yes gradle_do_not_strip=yes
   

   Sentry's documentation confirms that Android export templates can be compiled with target=template_debug, platform=android, arch=arm32, and debug_symbols=yes .

For Play Console Release: Use Release Build

For the build you actually upload to Play Console, it is recommended to use target=template_release rather than template_debug:

scons platform=android target=template_release generate_android_binaries=yes debug_symbols=yes gradle_do_not_strip=yes

If you want separate debug symbol files (instead of them being embedded in the binary), add the separate_debug_symbols=yes flag :

scons platform=android target=template_release generate_android_binaries=yes debug_symbols=yes gradle_do_not_strip=yes separate_debug_symbols=yes

Uploading to Play Console

• Upload the debug symbols that come from the same build as the AAB or APK you upload. Play Console will match them automatically if the identifiers are correct .
• If the build does not produce a ready-to-upload ZIP file, note that support for separating symbols for Google Play has historically not been simple and may require manual packaging .
• The exact folder structure required inside the ZIP for Play Console is not fully documented in the available sources, so you may need to check Google's official documentation or community guides for the final layout.

Important Notes

• Never mix symbols from different Godot versions or export templates. Debug symbols must only be used with the exact exported build they were generated for .
• If you did not modify the Godot source, it is safer to use the official native debug symbols provided by Godot for the same version as your official export templates .
• If you modified the Godot source or built custom templates, you must use the symbols from your own build, not the official ones .
• The available sources are limited regarding the exact output file location on Windows and the ZIP packaging process for Play Console. For precise file paths and packaging steps, further research may be needed.
