Hey guys, Just updated the 'kotlin-multiplatform' plugin from 1.3.10 and 1.3.21..
Also updated the compilations.main.outputkinds to new binaries block..
And noticed the generated iOS target framework size has increased..

Previously it was
Debug Framework = 4.3MB
Release Framework = 2.8MB

After update
Debug Framework = 4.8MB
Release Framework = 7.1MB

Debug version contains (Arm32, Arm64, x64)
Release version contains (Arm32, Arm64)

Also now release framework size is greater than the Debug version. Why is this happening.
Am I doing something wrong..

It seems the release notes are not on github but I remember that in Kotlin 1.3.20 was stated that bitcode is now on by default. Probably that makes the difference.

@Jurriaan Mous but still I expect release version of framework to be smaller than debug version. Correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, this is most likely caused by the embedded bitcode.

but still I expect release version of framework to be smaller than debug version.

Debug version doesn’t have bitcode embedded.

That makes sense.. Thanks for the help guys.. 🙂

Just an update.. I tried disabling bitcode and you are right.. The library size decreased.. This is due to bitcode 👍
