Buildozer构建的APK缺失.so库调试符号，如何获取带符号的库？

Great question—this is a common pain point when debugging Buildozer-built APKs in Android Studio. Let me walk you through exactly where those debug-enabled .so files live in your Buildozer VM:

Core Buildozer Directory Structure #

First, navigate to your project's root directory in the VM. By default, Buildozer stores project files in ~/buildozer-projects/[your-project-name]/. Inside this folder, you'll find a hidden .buildozer directory—this is where all the build artifacts, including debug .so libraries, are stored.

Specific Paths for Debug .so Files #

You'll find two key locations with debug-ready .so files:

1. Unstripped Libraries in the Object Files Directory
   This is where the raw, unmodified .so files (with full debug symbols) live during the build process:

   ~/buildozer-projects/[your-project-name]/.buildozer/android/platform/build-[architecture]/obj/local/[architecture]/
   

   Replace [architecture] with your target CPU architecture (most commonly armeabi-v7a or arm64-v8a). These files are larger than the stripped versions in your APK because they retain all debug metadata.

2. Debug Build Distribution Directory
   If you ran buildozer android debug to generate your APK, the debug-enabled .so files are also copied to the distribution output folder:

   ~/buildozer-projects/[your-project-name]/.buildozer/android/platform/build-[architecture]/dists/[your-apk-name]/libs/[architecture]/
   

   Note: Some versions of Buildozer might strip symbols here, so the object files directory above is the more reliable source for full debug symbols.

How to Verify You Have the Right Files #

To confirm a .so file has debug symbols, use the file command in the VM's terminal:

file libyourlibrary.so

Look for output that includes with debug_info—this means the file contains the debug symbols Android Studio needs.

Once you locate these files, you can copy them from the VM to your local machine (via shared folders, scp, or USB transfer) and replace the stripped .so files in your APK's extracted directory before debugging in Android Studio.
