I've IPA which is uploaded on AppStore. On unzipping IPA I see two folders Payload and Symbols.

Symbols folder contains some files with extension .symbols.
I know that the .symbols files will be used by App Store to analyse crash reports. But do they will be downloaded to user's iPhone as downloading my ipa ?

Thank you!

The .ipa file you upload to the App Store bears little resemblance to the .ipa file installed on a customer's device through the App Store — asset catalogs are thinned by target device type, bitcode is recompiled, on-demand resources are extracted and placed for download from Apple's servers, and so on. The symbol files are part of that, and not included in the app downloaded through the App Store.
