Hi folks, there seems to be an issue with KMM symbolication and PLCrashReporter that is preventing iOS from crashing properly. Has anyone who uses Datadog or PLCrashReporter seen this issue?
• <https://github.com/DataDog/dd-sdk-ios/issues/1714>
• <https://github.com/microsoft/plcrashreporter/issues/293>

Hadn't noticed that issue previously but just tried and have been able to replicate now.

I'm using SPM rather than cocoapods but looks like a similar setup other than that.

Not exactly much movement from either Datadog or PLCrashReporter from the looks of it.

Yea, we were trying to figure out when it was introduced because KMM was compatible with PLCR &amp; DD when we integrated. It looks like something with KMM symbolication is causing an endless loop in PLCR.

We use SPM as well, and from my testing the issue is present regardless of dependency manager

Given there hasn't been a release of PLCR since June 2023, probably something that was introduced with Kotlin 1.9.2X maybe?

Tried reaching out on that side to see if it's something that can be resolved there? Jetbrains might have slightly more incentive to fix than Datadog or PLCR

is there a good channel in this org to do that? or is there a better way? I just joined here a few weeks ago so not sure

Would be here I think - <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues>

<@U06KWNA0FKL> did you raise that issue on YouTrack?

Just seen that they've closed the PLCR issue...

wow, they just closed the PLCR issue? yea, I can open a ticket here shortly

Mikhail Suendukov obviously isn't a fan of KMP

do they have a separate issue tracker project for KMM? I'm only seeing KMM appcode which seems like the wrong category for this

I think just under the Kotlin project with a subsystem of Multiplatform looking at some other issues like <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-65315/KMP-Composite-compileIosMainKotlinMetadata-fails-with-Could-not-find-included-iOS-dependency>

<@U06KWNA0FKL> I've just seen your comment on the Jetbrains issue that you're only seeing this issue with `KOTLIN_FRAMEWORK_BUILD_TYPE` set to debug. I'm seeing the issue on release builds too unfortunately. Is your setup similar to this with the value defined as a user defined key in Xcode and specified per-configuration? You're not passing it directly as an argument into the `embedAndSignAppleFrameworkForXcode` gradle task or anything?

<@U05DRAT318A> it might be case sensitive, we have `debug` and `release` for the values of `KOTLIN_FRAMEWORK_BUILD_TYPE`.
