+# .NET for Android warning XA3008
+
+## Issue
+
+This warning is emitted when the build system fails to extract debug symbols from
+a native shared library using `objcopy`. The shared library itself was linked
+successfully, but separate debug symbol files (`.dbg.so`) could not be created.
+
+## Solution
+
+This warning is non-fatal and the app will still work correctly. Debug symbols
+are used for native crash diagnostics. If you need native debug symbols, check
+that the NDK `objcopy` tool is installed and functioning correctly.
+
+## Example messages
+
+```
+warning XA3008: Failed to extract debug info from 'libmonodroid.so':
+objcopy: error: ...
+```
