It downloads the  debug  symbols from the device  so it becomes possible to debug on devices with that specific iOS version and also to symbolicate crash reports that happened on that iOS version   Since symbols are CPU specific  the above only works if you have imported the symbols not only for a specific iOS device but also for a specific CPU type  The currently CPU types needed are armv7  e g  iPhone 4  iPhone 4s   armv7s  e g  iPhone 5  and arm64  e g  iPhone 5s    So if you want to symbolicate a crash report that happened on an iPhone 5 with armv7s and only have the symbols for armv7 for that specific iOS version  Xcode won t be able to  fully  symbolicate the crash report
