When running “Generate signed app bundle” in Android Studio, native debug symbols are not generated in the intermediates/merged_native_libs folder or in the app bundle. I tried not specifying the ndk version in build.gradle.kts but to no avail. Interestingly, native debug symbols do get generated in the folder above, but are still not accessible in the app bundle, when I use this implementation:

implementation("androidx.compose.material:material:1.7.0-alpha01")

I’ve installed ndk(the same version as in the build.gradle.kts file down below) and cmake

build.gradle.kts:

android {
    namespace = "com.myspeechy.myspeechy"
    compileSdk = 34
    ndkVersion = "22.1.7171670"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId = "com.myspeechy.myspeechy"
        minSdk = 26
        targetSdk = 34
        versionCode = 11
        versionName = "1.0.11"
        testInstrumentationRunner = "com.myspeechy.myspeechy.CustomTestRunner"
        vectorDrawables {
            useSupportLibrary = true
        }
        ksp {
            arg("room.schemaLocation", "$projectDir/schemas")
        }
        resourceConfigurations.addAll(listOf("en"))
        }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            ndk {
                debugSymbolLevel = "FULL"
            }
            isShrinkResources = true
            isMinifyEnabled = true
            proguardFiles(
                getDefaultProguardFile("proguard-android-optimize.txt"),
                "proguard-rules.pro"
            )
        }
    }
