Uncovered while testing [Link Removed]
1. Using a Launcher build, create a new C++ project (I named it SymbolTest)
2. Package a development build from the editor
3. in a Command prompt, generate a dSYM file using the follow commands
cd "/Users/jack.porter/Documents/Unreal Projects/SymbolTest/Binaries/IOS" /usr/bin/dsymutil SymbolTest -f -o SymbolTest.dSYM
4. Attempt to generate a psym file with the command
/Users/Shared/Epic\ Games/UE_5.5/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/RunUAT.sh GeneratePsyms -files=/Users/jack.porter/Documents/Unreal\ Projects/SymbolTest/Binaries/IOS/SymbolTest.dSYM
Note that this initially fails because the Launcher build is missing the tool /Users/Shared/Epic Games/UE_5.5/Engine/Source/ThirdParty/Breakpad/src/tools/mac/binaries/dump_syms
5. If you manually install that tool from a Perforce build. the command in step 4 fails with the error
Symbol generation failed: Error Generating Symbols: /Users/jack.porter/Documents/Unreal Projects/SymbolTest/Binaries/IOS/SymbolTest.psym
Expected: the code generates a .psym file
