This thread explains why the iOS app is 699MB, mostly due to large dynamic frameworks (64%) and assets. They suggest quick fixes like removing unnecessary symbols, optimizing images, and deleting duplicates to save 139MB. Most of the size comes from sharing too many frameworks, which could be trimmed. They also found a funny MP3 named "rutto," meaning burp in Italian.
We got tagged to analyze this app on Thre*ds so we're posting it here too 🤭
🧵 Let's take a look at why the @intesasanpaolo iOS app is 699 MB 😳
A quick breakdown 👇
448 MB (64%) dynamic frameworks 🫠
72 MB (10%) main app target
74 MB (11%) of assets
We first found some low-hanging fruit improvements to optimize install size, including
102 MB (15%) from stripping binary symbols
27 MB (4%) from optimizing images
10 MB (1.5%) from removing duplicates
That's 139 MB (20%) of size that could be easily reduced right there 🧠
Next, let's talk about how 64% of the app is dynamic frameworks, 230 of them to be exact 🫣
We've talked about this before in previous app breakdowns, but dylibs let you share code between targets, however, they're larger than static frameworks. It's likely that Intesa doesn't need ALL of those to be dynamically linked

Oohhoho this one looks fun!
Let's take a look at why the @SantanderUK iOS app is at a whopping 613.3 MB and how 35% of it does nothing for the user 🧐 https://t.co/GEsr1yQu7x

As we were digging through the app for this tweet, we found an mp3 file titled "rutto.mp3" and thought it sounded really strange.
Rutto means burp in Italian...we'll leave you with that 🫳🎤Thanks as always for the tags! Link to the full analysis here
