Some low hanging fruit for reducing app package sizes that tends to be neglected is just going through your dependencies and dropping the ones you don’t need and replacing those with unreasonable file size.
I forget which it was but years ago there was a common customer service library that a lot of apps include that on its own added like 25MB to your app package size. That’s insane, I’ve built and shipped full apps that aren’t that large. Adding that library would’ve over doubled size for questionable utility.
It doesn’t take dropping too many dependencies like that to reduce package size significantly.
