I have an iOS app built using Flash Builder 4.6 (AIR SDK 3.1). This app also has quite a few native extensions added to it. Now I am getting crashes from one of these native extensions. I need to debug and understand the crash log, but can't locate the .dSYM file for my app.

Is .dSYM file generated for AIR app for iOS with native extensions? If yes, where can one locate it and debug against crash logs.

I have checked that link but couldn't locate the file as explained there. There its says the file will be in the same location as the .ipa, but in my case I don't see that file here.

You must look at step 4. The file is inside the IPA. Remember, an IPA is just a zipped file (so is a SWC for that matter). You have to open up the IPA to find what you're looking for and step 4 tells you how to go about it.

It's not easy, but there's your answer.
