I’m not sure what you mean by metadata, metadata is inherently always public. This is stuff like the app icon and AppStore screenshots.
If you’re asking about the actual internal code of the app, it all gets obfuscated and compiled into a .ipa file. No one at Apple can read it, even if they did somehow decompile it, it wouldn’t matter because knowing the source code to something doesn’t inherently give you access to break it’s encryption. Signal for example is fully open source. That’s the beauty of asymmetric encryption is that it can be done all in the open.
For context I develop apps for Apple.

They can see and test the app.
