I'm trying to upload my bundle Flutter app to Google Play from my Mac, but I'm getting a warning about adding "debug symbols":

This App Bundle contains native code, and you've not uploaded debug symbols. We recommend you upload a symbol file to make your crashes and ANRs easier to analyze and debug.

According to this answer, I need to zip the three folders and upload it as a "debug symbols".

However, I'm getting the above error when trying to upload the compressed files:

The native debug symbols contain an invalid directory __MACOSX. Only Android ABIs are supported.

What is the problem? What should I do?

I have solved the issue by deleting all __MACOSX folders from my zip.

After compressing your arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a and x86_64 folders, run the above command to get rid of the Mac __MACOSX files:

zip -d Archive.zip "__MACOSX*"

Then you can upload the .zip symbol file to Google Play Console.

This worked for me. I'm using Gradle 8.2 in my Flutter 3 project and I've tried all solutions from internet to automate a script in build.gradle and to avoid to do this task manually. But there is no solution for the moment and the old script is not working anymore. I mean this: stackoverflow.com/questions/63373245/…
To perform that command, point your terminal to the projects lib folder [ProjectName/build/app/intermediats/merged_native_libs/release/out/lib]
Also for removing the DS_Store file you have to use this: zip -d Archive.zip "*/.DS_Store"

When you compress folders using MacOS Archive utility than it will include _MACOSX file as well, so there are two ways to handle the situation:

1- Delete _MACOSX folder that is hidden.

2- Download WinZip and Compress using it.

Unzip the current archive Archive.zip and then delete your Archive.zip

Delete the __MACOSX directory using the  below command:

 rm -rf Archive/__MACOSX

Re-zip the cleaned directory using the  below command:

 cd Archive 
zip -r ../Archive.zip .

Note: Do not use finder options to re-zip otherwise error will be not removed.
