Big lib size #13

Closed verycoolcat closed 8 years ago

verycoolcat commented 8 years ago

Hello, the lib size is around 100Mb, is there a way to bring it down? It doubles the size of my app.

lijon commented 8 years ago

Really? My app AUM is only a 5 Mb download, and it uses LinkKit. :)

Perhaps you're including it all instead if just the static lib + headers?

Same here, the compiler/linker does not appear to use much of what is inside the LinkKit static library, my final target binary size is mostly unchanged in size after adding Link support. Makes me wonder what is in there though!

It's mostly debugging information and LLVM bitcode, none of which enter the final app bundle.

verycoolcat commented 8 years ago

Hello community, thanks for answering! Of course I was looking at the wrong place. My archive size was doubled, not the app size. App size is almost the same. I should have checked LinkHut - it is 1.6 Mb :)

brs-ableton commented 8 years ago

Looks like this has been well explained, but for the record the library size jumped about 4x in LinkKit 1.0.1 because we turned on bitcode support. As has been stated, this doesn't translate into a larger app when downloaded from the store because of app thinning.

Also, as @andoma said the library contains debug symbols and, in addition to the armv7 and arm64 slices, includes slices for x86_64 and i386 to enable usage with the simulator. These slices do not contribute to app size.
