Hello,
I believe that releasing a symbol table for the iOS build of Minecraft PE would be beneficial for both Mojang and the community. I've written a PM to you previously outlining the reason, so it would be great if you can consider that.

Thank you.

Hey, sorry if I didn't get back to you but I mostly ignore the PMs I get on the forum, they're mostly spam and requests :)

To be honest I don't really know why there has been a change, it might have been something it did; normally, iOS applications in release should build with "dwarf + dSYM" in release, and that means that the symbols are kept in a separate, and private, file, and that's the way it is now.
Maybe it was different before, but probably it was by mistake.

And the thing is, in MCPE we don't support or encourage mods as they require jailbreaking the devices/obtaining a pirated/edited apk most of the time.
However, keeping the symbols in the game is not a big problem, (as long as Apple doesn't complain about that) so I'll talk about this with the others :)

so hopefully MCPE modding can be made easier once again.
