Breakpoints are set in the project environment, not in binary format. Thus, a breakpoint only works in your environment when you connect a debugger. You can verify this by running the application in the simulator without using the Xcode βstartβ button (just click on the icon of your application in the simulator).
Breakpoints are project parameters and are not compiled with the target archive, so it does not leave your computer.
