It supports your claim that iOS app sizes are 3-10x bigger than Android.
I wonder why. The article makes some guesses but still, the magnitude difference is significant.
Even Fastmail, which has the smallest iOS email app, is still 2x bigger on iOS (20MB) vs Android (10MB).

- ComradePhil 5y agoThe sizes mean different things in different platforms. Google reports the download size, Apple reports the size that the app will consume on your device. Both have their uses but you shouldn't compare the two.
