How Xcode 14 unintentionally increases app size


Package size is a problem that mobile developers have to deal with now.


A lot of new features have been added to Xcode 14 recently. However, developers should know that Xcode 14 won't turn on bitcode by default, which could cause the package size to grow.


This article did some preliminary research and found that after switching to Xcode 14 packaging, many apps' sizes got 30%–60% bigger, which is absolutely incredible.


The article not only looks at the current situation but also goes into detail about the reasons for package expansion.


Developers working on Xcode 14 should take advantage of this.
