Missing symbol names when profiling IPhone application with Instruments

iphone xcode profiling instruments symbols

I am compiling an IPhone application via command line (so no XCode options involved) and I am unable to get my symbol names to show when profiling with Instruments. I have tried several flags such as -gdawrf-2 and -g without any success. I have also tried using dsymutils to generate a .dSYM file but i have no clue how I'm supposed to use it so that failed aswell.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Changing it to include the dSYM File helped the profiler desymbolize the symbols and fixed my issue:
