Why are Unity iOS apps so big?

I'm using Unity 2019.2.7 to build a medium size app (same app for Android is around 80 MB). My .IPA file is around 110 MB and when I download it from the app store or testflight it's around 330 MB. Is there anything I can do to reduce the size of this app in the app store?

iOS apps are unzipped when installed. Android apps stays inside the compressed apk file. What you can do is to use compressed asset bundles in the streaming asset folder.

Don't trust the size values in the App Store or Testflight, they are the install size, not the download size. You can check in App Store Connect under you app > Activity > All Builds > Build > "App Store File Sizes" the download size and the install size.
