Why is Dot Net Avalonia hello-world application so huge (80 MB)?

Create a default Dot Net Avalonia MVVM application project in MSVS 2022.

Build ready-to-publish release version using command dotnet publish .\AvaloniaApplication1.csproj -r win-x64 -c Release -p:publishsinglefile=true --self-contained true -p:debugsymbols=false -p:debugtype=none -o HelloWorld

We got a release of three files with overall size 84.6 MB.

I believe the size of hello-world GUI project should not exceed 1 MB. Is it possible? Or, at least, how to reduce the size as much as possible?

At a guess, this is your issue:

--sc|--self-contained [true|false]

Publishes the .NET runtime with your application

Maybe you need to do this, maybe not
