The ISYM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ISYM file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ISYM or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ISYM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ISYM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.

When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ISYM files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move ISYM to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ISYM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ISYM to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
