Ionic app size is over 60MB

I have developed a couple Ionic 3 apps and have compiled an iOS version.

The ipa file is over 60 Mb, even for the simplest app.

This seems extremely large for a mobile app.

In one app I do have a few image files, but they are all svg.

Does this sound right to everyone, or am I missing something when I compile?

The solution could be :

ionic cordova build ios/android --prod --release --optimizejs --minifyjs --minifycss

Also remove all plugins that you don't use. For example a simple app of 1 MB, becomes 11 just becouse i use a paypal plugin.

So I suggest you:

  1. Compress all screenshots & app icons (splash and icons, generate them with ionic cordova resouurces)
  2. http://www.minifier.org/
  3. comands for optimization

  4. and also "Special Instruction For iOS: 5 — Once you archive, Open Organizer, right click on the desired archive, click on “show in finder” You will find “*.xcarchive”. Right click on it “Show package contents”-> product -> application -> “your app name” -> “Show package contents”

    You can even remove unwanted files from here too. Later upload it to app store"
