I unwrap the app executable bundle. There is a my app executable mach-o file and another file that has the same name and has prefix like "app_name.debug.dylib" . What is it for ?

The file with the prefix "app_name.debug.dylib" is likely related to debugging. Specifically, it is a debug symbol file that contains additional information used by debuggers like LLDB to provide more detailed insights during a debugging session. This file helps in mapping the executable code back to the source code, allowing you to see line numbers, variable names, and other useful information when debugging your app.
