How to build ios binary small like in other platforms? #2287

Closed tinyc0der closed 2 months ago

tinyc0der commented 2 months ago

I'm trying to build a wrapper for similar library for flutter. I also config build tool for it like your document. Everything work well but the binary in ios is larger (>16MB) than other platforms (<1M). Can you help me what am I doing wrong? Thanks

This is my repo https://github.com/CoryApp/similar_flutter

Firstly, what is your method to check ios binary size? IIRC there are many sizes, some are not the ones that will be downloaded (s.t. we do not need to worry)

@fzyzcjy I check them in the asset of a release https://github.com/CoryApp/similar_flutter/releases/tag/precompiled_abba3d7ecfa2645441a2f40100ca15d4

The .a file is static lib, which means, even if it is 100MB, if you only use 1MB of it in your app, it will only make your app +1MB size. On the other hand, .so file is dynamic lib, so if it is 100MB then your app size +100MB.

(The real case is a bit more complex, you also need to consider compression, so a 1MB .so file may only make your apk about 0.3MB larger, for example)

static lib for ios ( about 16MB ) confused me. I will research it more. Thanks
