has been landed in these versions:

• 2019.2.11f1 - https://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/2019.2.11
• 2019.3.0b12 - https://unity3d.com/unity/beta/2019.3.0b12

Hello all,
How to disable symbols.zip in Script code? Normally we build in batch mode, and use BuildOptions in script code to modify option. So with those unity versions ( 2018.4.13f1, 2019.2.11f1,2019.3.0b12, 2020.1.0a14), We only can disable symbols.zip in BuildSettings Menu?? not in script code??

 

Unity always show what they have added, but never tell how to use it in details

 

In script you can do this:
EditorUserBuildSettings.androidCreateSymbolsZip = false;

 

, thank you so much for you quick reply, that's really helpful. I am just curious, where did you get this? I did search in Unity's website, and googled a lot, but I cannot find any info about it...

 

Well... I was waiting for this functionality for a long time and when they released the builds that got that thing added, i just checked the build settings menu and saw that the checkbox was available where all the other stuff from EditorUserBuildSettings was available as well.
Went to script, typed in EditorUserBuildSettings.android and found that thing right away

 

I didn't think about "EditorUserBuildSettings", usually I modify things in BuildOptions

 

My real issue is that we have an automatic system to increase our version number each build and since the zip appends this to the zips filename we get dozens of them filling up our system, one for every build. If it just used the same name as the apk then one of them would be fine with me - and useful for debugging.

 

I'm using 2018.4.13f1 and don't have that option. Is it hidden somewhere else?

 

No, I don't get symbols.zip after upgrading to 2018.4.13. Thanks for clarification.

 

+1 Need this on 2017 LTS and 2018 LTS as well please.

human idiocy has no limit !
I charge noone.... just.... the fact ppl never look at things.... and mostly simple & obvious ones.....

happy unitying !

 

Im using Unity 2019.2.8

I don't see a BUILD SYSTEM option.

Does this mean it builds my android APK using Gradle automatically? At the end of the build it said "Building grade project"

 

i'm using Unity 2018.4.19f1 ,how can i find symblos.zip with buildsetting check Export Project？@Tomas1856

 

Hello everyone, sorry for a bit of necro.
The "Create symbols.zip" option in the build settings is greyed out and I can't turn it on no matter what other settings I change. Does anyone have any idea how I can turn it on? I'm using Unity 2019.2.21f1 for my project.

 

How did you reduce your zip file? I Googled 1.6gb as mine is also 1.6gb and I extracted and compressed it again with winzip but it results in 400mb. Still can't upload it to Google due to limit set at 300mb. Please help

 

+1 for add this feature to 2017.4.40 (Last 2017 build)

 

I known. Unity 5 has been out of support for many years, but the last update was on March 4, 2019. Which is not that long ago. A lot depends on the number of thirsty people.

Unity 2020 looks limited in some points than Unity 2017. Unity 2020 cannot build apk x86. And it installs packages into projects, which slows down the startup of IDE. In addition, 2017 has a built-in editor.

So I have several versions of Unity installed. And the last one including too.
