Android debugSymbolLevel = { SYMBOL_TABLE | FULL } not working

Question

I want to upload an Android app with debug symbols to Google Play Console in order to have detailed crash logs for my C++ code.

So I followed the steps here and added this line:

android.buildTypes.release.ndk.debugSymbolLevel = 'FULL'

At the top of my Gradle file just below the 'apply plugin:' lines (in the Gradle at :app level)

I also tried to add:

ndk {
debugSymbolLevel 'FULL'
}

in: buildTypes { release{ here!!! }}

but doesn't work.

I still get the following message in the Google Play Console when I upload my app:

This App Bundle contains native code, and you've not uploaded debug symbols. We recommend you upload a symbol file to make your crashes and ANRs easier to analyze and debug.

The problem is mentioned here but not solved.

Anybody found a workaround?

Thanks.

In my case my build.gradle script already had a buildTypes block and in that block I could set up the ndk.debugSymbolLevel config option, an image say more than thousand words, hope it can help you
