What's the difference between DWARF and DWARF with dSYM file?

Question

XCode supports those 2 values for this Build Setting:

Build Settings > Build Options > Debug Information Format.

Could anybody explain the differences?

Answer 1

From "Project Editor Help":

Debug Information Format (DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT)

The type of debug information to produce.

DWARF: Object files and linked products will use DWARF as the debug information format. dwarf

DWARF with dSYM File: Object files and linked products will use DWARF as the debug information format,and Xcode will also produce a dSYM file containing the debug information from the individual object files (except that a dSYM file is not needed and will not be created for static library or object file products). dwarf-with-dsym
