Kotlin Native Framework Size problem
I am creating a Kotlin Native framework for iOS without using cocoapods plugin. Here is the minimal code to show the problem. https://github.com/kerry/kn-library
The problem is that it creates a framework of 17MB size on disk.

Can someone explain if this is normal?

You are inspecting the framework built for debug, which includes embedded debugging symbols and information that suck up a lot of the space.

whats the expected size of “Release” framework?

[Anders]

57 MB for debug and 4 MB for release in my project

[Prateek Grover]

Let me check…and that 4mb also gets shrinked when creating archive, right? Whats the final increase in download size you get?

[Anders]

I don't have measurements on that. But it is more or less as bulky as some large Swift dependencies like ReactiveCocoa or RxSwift

[Prateek Grover]

got it. thanks

[Anders]

Also I think K/N by default generates bitcode

[Anders]

So that inflates the archive size a bit too
