There's an awful lot of information on this in the list archives:

I'm not sure that you will find answers to all your questions, but at least you should find some background info.

I'm currently working on a cocoa project and noticed, while looking at the built app with a hex editor,
that it contains absolute path names to the files I use in my project and a list of all C / Objective-C functions
used in my code.
What is this data used for? Simply changing the symbols/paths in the raw app file didn't make it crash, so I
thought it'd be some kind of debugging information, but even building in deployment style and telling xcode
to not create debugging symbols and enabling "Strip Linked Product" didn't help...


The main problem with this is, that the app also contains the paths/ symbols of the code used to check
registration information etc. which might help someone to crack the app...
