What is binary stripping and how does it affect Objective-C debugging?
Updated May 17, 2026
Short answer
Binary stripping removes debug symbols and reduces executable size.
Deep explanation
During release builds, unused symbols and debug metadata are stripped. This reduces app size but makes debugging harder without dSYM files. Symbolication becomes essential for crash analysis.
