Wrong Symbol Files uploaded by firebase crash repo

Question

When a crash gets uploaded to the firebase dashboard it always shows the message Upload symbol file to symbolicate future stack traces for UUID *******. However I did make sure that the symbol files got uploaded by looking in the Symbol Files tab. Something I noticed though was that the symbol files had a different UUID then what the message on the crash said. What might I be doing wrong here?

Something strange is that it seems like neither the UUID in uploaded symbol files nor in the message mentioned above is correct. I get a third UUID when I check it up locally by following this guide (basically running find . -iname *.app in ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/).

I first got this issue in our app using swift 2 and xcode 7. However I also gets the same issue using a new firebase app (ios sdk v3.8) and a minimal xcode 8 project with swift 3 that is setup exactly as advised in the docs.

// AppDelegate.swift
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    FIRApp.configure()
    return true
}

// ViewController.swift
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    FIRCrashMessage("A test message")
    fatalError()
}

// Run script in Build Phases that uploads symbol files
GOOGLE_APP_ID=our_google_app_id
"${PODS_ROOT}"/FirebaseCrash/upload-sym "serviceaccount.json"

// Podfile (using latest versions as of 2017-05-12, v3.17.0)
pod 'Firebase/Core'
pod 'Firebase/Crash'

I think maybe the path of "ServiceAccount.json" is wrong, please check again. It should be

"${PODS_ROOT}"/FirebaseCrash/upload-sym "/Path/To/ServiceAccount.json"

And you need also to add this in the script.

rm $HOME/Library/Preferences/com.google.SymbolUpload*
