I have submitted an iPhone app to Apple for approval and distribution.
What do I need to save of the code and compilations to be able to bug-fix if (when?) the bugs come in? Should I just save everything, or just the symbols file?

I check the all the source code and the resources needed to build the app into a source code repository (with an appropriate tag) as soon as I submit an app build. In addition I zip and backup the .dSYM directory in my build/Distribution-iphoneos directory, just in case something changes in my tool environment.
Having an exact source snapshot allows me to do things such as insert NSLog statements, etc., while trying to replicate the problem, if that helps narrow down a problem source (and then reverting if not), instead of just looking at (symbolicated) crash dumps.
