Share plugin adds 70 MB to the build size!

I'm building iOS app with Cordova.

Without the Share plugin the release IPA size is 25 Mb. With Share plugin it grows to 100 Mb!

I noticed that this line shows up in the log - Update IOS build setting ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIES to: YES for build configuration Release

. I'm guessing it's responsible for this huge size increase. Is there any way to disable it?

I built an iOS app with xcode yesterday. the app is 16mb all in all. and I use the share plugin, and a lot of other ones. But I suppose you do it differently, if you export as cordova. But just fyi

in xcode:

(My app got rejected in app store connect though, due to IFDA/ATT issue! But this is another story..)

fredriksthlm Thanks for the info! Do you have this setting "Always embed Swift libraries" set to "Yes" in Xcode?

I don't know. I took the image from a forum (stack overflow), and I have no mac in front of me now. (I usually use macincloud)

I have never changed the setting though, so I use the "standard" one.

It is set to "Yes" for standard xcode exports and xcode builds. My full build is 16MB. So your issue is elsewere. (Maybe verify if some of your cordova plugins are updated maybe?)
