Yes, we can do that, Lets start how to do that, so we can minimize the size of our app folder not to download the symbols in single project file.

How we can do that?

  1. Create new project as usual
  2. Generate manifest
  3. Download symbols
    1. Now in this step you will all your symbols are download in your .alpackage folder see below:pastedimage1675174529975v1.png
    2. This one the usual steps we follows
    3. This step also make your project file heavier means uses more spaces.
  4. Its time to change this .alpackage folder to your local path
  5. Go to Settings and search Package Cache pathpastedimage1675174529975v2.pngpastedimage1675174529976v3.png
  6. Now change this patch to your local folder, in my case its C:/Temp
  7. Come out
  8. Now you can delete the .alpackage folder from your project file.
  9. Download symbols again
  10. you will see all symbols has been downloaded in your local given folder pathpastedimage1675174529976v4.png
