Thanks … but I’m not getting any insight from that. How about some specific 
questions, if I may:

If I build a static library (.a file) that another developer will link into 
their app, do I need to provide a dSYM file too, or does the library already 
include all the debug info?

What about a framework (with a dylib), again to be used in another developer’s 
app? Is there any use for a dSYM file with that? (And if so where does it go? 
Inside the .framework somewhere?)

I think I’m generally unclear about what uses dSYM files. Just LLDB? And how 
does it find them?
